Pyrrha = Achilles

Monty said that Team JNPR are based on characters who cross dressed in their stories. Thor had to dress as a woman to get his hammer back, and Achilles had to dress as a red-haired woman named Pyrrha, plus Pyrrha's nickname is The Invincible Girl. And Nora's symbol is a hammer with a lightning bolt on it.

Sun Wukong = Sun Wukong from the super old classic Chinese novel Journey to the West. Many, many, many, many monkey-tailed male characters in various shows, anime, manga, and video games are inspired by/based on him, including Son Goku from the Dragonball series.

Neptune = Neptune aka Poseidon, God/King of the Sea.

Ironwood = Tin Man from Wizard of Oz.

Velvet Scarlatina = The Velveteen Rabbit Considering there's gonna be a female Thor (if they haven't already come out with it) your theory is valid, but so is his. Nora could quite possibly be based off a Valkyrie.
