That was my first thought too. The unfortunate issue with the name, however, is that it does not immediately bring to mind any kind of color, does not mean a color, and certainly does not sound like a color. Tenodera is a species of praying mantis and the term most commonly causes people to thinking of "green" insects. Theodora was only the name of the Wicked Witch in the most recent Oz film. Monty said that Ozpin is the only character in the show that does not follow his naming rules and if Ozpin doesn't follow the naming rules (which I don't understand since Ozpin makes you think of Oz which makes you think green), then certainly Theodora doesn't follow the naming rules. So... yeah.
