RWBY Team Name Generator

At Beacon, Haven, Atlas and Shade, Huntsman teams get their name from their four members. The initials of the students' first names are arranged into a four-letter acronym that spells, or at least sounds like, a color, and the team is led by the student whose initial comes first. Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang become RWBY (Ruby); Jaune, Nora, Pyrrha and Ren become JNPR (Juniper); Coco, Fox, Velvet and Yatsuhashi are CFVY (Coffee); Sun, Scarlet, Sage and Neptune are SSSN (Sun); Summer, Taiyang, Raven and Qrow were STRQ (Stark).

Building an original team name is a puzzle in two directions. Either you start with four OC first names and hunt for a color word their initials can spell (vowels are usually dropped, as in BRNZ or NDGO), or you pick a color acronym you like and design four characters whose names start with those letters. Canon teams also let a colour word do double duty as a description, so FNKI reads as Funky and CRDL as Cardinal, a red bird as well as a red hue.

The list starts with every canon team from the show and then offers original acronyms in the same style, each with its intended pronunciation, covering English colors, foreign color words (Noir, Kuro, Verde) and gemstones so you can pick one that matches your team's palette.
