Well, there's a growing consensus that Taiyang Xiao Long is Yang's father (going by Chinese tradition, Taiyang is the family name and Xiao Long is the given name and Yang's father named her after him. She goes by Yang because she thinks it's cuter). Anyway, Yang's parents both were on a team with Summer Rose and Qrow. So their team name at least has an S and a Q. If Yang's father went by Taiyang then the team name has TQS. IamThorn came up with Raven (originally as Yang's father) as the final name to lead to a team name of TRQS (turquoise) or QRTS (quartz, remember the rules established by RWBY, CFVY, and SSSN, the team name doesn't have to spelt but remotely like the word it sounds like). Personally, I go with TRQS as I believe Yang's father was the team leader. The blue color of turquoise for a team whose leader's color motif should obviously be yellow hearkens back to Jaune and team JNPR. If Yang's mother's name is Raven, she is possibly Qrow's brother.
