You must remember that though that is the meaning in our world, in the RWBY world they name the kids something because of the colour associated by it. By naming your kid Vayne, though it might have a nice meaning, you are basically saying that when the parents saw their child, the colour they thought of was blood. It would work for an assumed name, as a 'bad' character (as in morality wise, not badly written) would like something that sounds like vein, but as a baby name for the brand new, ultra cute baby the parents just had it doesn't work.
