Jaune tells both of them to keep it down, then proceeds to mention he thinks JNRR sounds much cooler. So he was affected after all. He's more serious but still not humourless.

I actually have a different idea, Kunrin, though it can work alongside yours anyway.

Based on the Character Short and the new clip, I'm thinking Ruby is not acknowledging JNR as her new team. While they're discussing possible team names, Ruby is not even with them. For some reason, she's always by herself and doing her own thing instead of sticking together with JNR. And it's not just a simple I'm going ahead. JNR had to find Ruby by following smoke from a village, suggesting they were KMs away from her. Too much of a long distance. Ruby once had the mentality of doing all the fighting on her own but eventually learned to accept RWBY as her teammates in battle. Wouldn't it be ironic if she now refuses to see anyone except for RWBY as teammates?

This could totally cause an argument with Jaune. His main priority is his team's safety and probably more so after losing his partner. But if Ruby is always leaving them in the dirt, fighting on her own and not acting as a real teammate. Maybe instead of a fight over leadership, Jaune and Ruby will fight over their current heated mentalities. He doesn't want to lose another teammate, she doesn't want to acknowledge having teammates.
