@Spirit: 1 word: Bumblebee. Blake and Yang both have nothing bee-like (Unless you want to stretch it a bit and include Yang's bike....whose name was revealed after Bumblebee was already a ship).

So the whole "pure bird name doesn't work for the theming" seems like a faulty argument. If Blake and Yang had their ship named after a black and yellow insect, why can't Winter and Qrow have their ship named after a black-and-white bird?

Like Penguins. (Fair regarding the CRWBY calling them that, though.)
