So, I thought recently about what would be the names of Jaune's sisters. I saw this was the most recent relevant thread, so I decided to post my thoughts here:

For starters, I'll provide some of my points:

1-Jaune is a french name, for Yellow.

2-Arc, is likely derived from Arc-en-Ciel, the french word for Rainbow. My reasons behind this idea are point 1, and that his family emblem is a Rainbow. Combined, it makes sense.

Following those 2 points, I believe that Jaune's other 7 sisters, are named after the french words for rest of the colors present in a Rainbow. Besides Yellow, those are Red, Orange, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. If so, it would be, including Jaune:

1-Rouge, 2-Orange, 3-Jaune, 4-Vert, 5-Bleu, 6-Indigo, and 7-Violette.

If we assume the siblings are, by age, ordered the same as the rainbow's colors, then Jaune is the 3rd youngest child. If we assume they are reversed, like in a Double rainbow, then he's the 3rd oldest.

There is 1 problem however. He said he had 7 sisters. Adding Jaune, that's 8. Doylistically, this could be excused as one of the writers screwing up the math, or forgetting how rainbows have only 7 colors. But if they didn't, then there's the problem of what her name would be.

One option is that she's Jaune's twin, named Jean or Jeanne. Or Jane. Being born at the same time, they would occupy the same spot in the "rainbow". Jean(ne), depending on pronounciation, can sound almost like Jaune, so they can excuse it as "sounds like a color".

As for how they would be, I have some ideas, such as Jeanne using a spear, but no real headcanons.
