Also, have we ever seen the eye Roman's hair covers? If they turn out to share that trait, maybe it could support the theory they are related. That would be a little too much of a similarity for them not to be related... then again, Roman could see a bit (Or a lot, really) of himself in her, and her sharing the different eye-colors trait may remind him of himself.

But again, I feel like it would work out better if they  were  related.

Do you guys think Neo is her full name?

As in, all of RWBY anf JNPR have names that can be said quickly during combat. Yatsuhashi, not so much. I wouldn't be suprised if his team just called him "Y" when time was short.

Point being - Maybe "Neo" os just Roman's shorthand for her - because "neapolitan" is too long to say in combat. Or, maybe it's just a nickname -  which, again, works out nicely if they're related. I'd say daghter, but the age gap seems very small for that - maybe Neo is his little sister? I rarely call my little sister by her real name anymore, just nicknames.
