Here's the thing: Allusions are irrelevant for the CNR. Your character will not fit CNR just because they allude to, say, Winnie the Pooh.

After all, what matters is their name in-universe, not who they allude to out-of-universe. Allusions are not a thing in-universe.

Now, a(n exploitable) problem with the CNR is that it is deliberately rather vague at times, so you can just be cheap with the name.

For example, "Makes you think of a color"? "Well, I'll just name her Colour! :D". Since the word colour makes you think of a color, it works. Same with, say, Dog, since no matter what kind of dog you imagine, it will include a color.

Ozpin itself is Vinegar in Basque, and Vinegar comes in many colors. Though you can argue that maybe Monty didn't know that....but then you can argue that Emerald also has a Basque name (Sustrai) so Monty did do the research....

....But then you can argue that the research done by Miles, Monty and Kerry was and is sloppy and lazy on ocassion, often-times seemingly taken from some random "color names" site with unreliable (or no) sources and leaving as soon as they find something they need.
