Cinder being named Fall doesn't mean it's going to be a trend. In fact, Cinder being named Cinder Fall was just a coincidence, since like I said, the Maidens did not exist before volume 3.

It would be pretty bad writing for them to go "Everyone who has a season-related name will be a Maiden."

And just because someone has colors that fit the aesthetic of a season doesn't mean they'll be a Maiden either. It's like how people kept trying to say "All Winter Maidens must have silver eyes and that's why Ruby is the Winter Maiden. Like all the Fall Maidens must have orange eyes like Amber and Cinder!" Except Cinder's eyes didn't change color after getting the Fall Maiden powers, and her eyes are not the same color as Amber's, plus they were going to transfer the powers to Pyrrha, who had green eyes. Of course, these people kept missing the fact that Ruby is something completely different from a Maiden - a Silver-Eyed Warrior - but I digress.
