Eh, I'm bored. Random headcanon time:
Yang, finishing a story: " [...] so the moment dad said Ruby's full name, I knew I needed to run for the hills.
Ruby: "You left me behind!"
Yang: "Sis, dad used the whole name. That's code for 'I want no witnesses'."
Weiss, curious: "Wait, Ruby's full name?"
Ruby: "Yeah," shrugging. "I don't use it much because it's a mouthful."
Blake, about to ask: "--"
Yang, grinning: "Ruby Yin Rose Xiao Long!"
Ruby, stiffening for a second: "Yang!"
Blake: "It's not that long of a name, though."
Ren: "I imagine Yin is complimentary to Yang?"
Ruby, nodding in defeat. "It was actually my first name."
Weiss, blinking: "What do you mean?"
Ruby: "Dad wanted to name me Yin after Yang, and it stuck until I could talk." She closes her eyes, remembering with a smile. "But I once mentioned to mom I didn't like it as much, and she asked me what name I preferred." Pointing at herself. "So, I said Ruby."
Pyrrha: "Oh, that is really cute."
Nora, chuckling: "Also, you're far from having the longest or most embarrassing name in our group."
Jaune, immediately: "Nora..."
Nora, innocently: "What?"
Yang, already smirking: "Wait, what's going on?"
Weiss, looking between them: "Is there something we should know?"
Jaune: "No, there's not."
Nora, smiling far too brightly: "Sorry, I promised to not SAY anything."
Also Nora: silently pointing at Jaune.
Jaune, hanging his head low: "Traitor."
Ren, putting a calming hand on his shoulder: "It was inevitable."
Pyrrha, trying not to smile too much: "Jauneā¦" sighing. "It's better if you just say it.
Blake: "How bad could it possibly be?"
Yang, now grinning: "Oh, this is gonna be good."
Jaune, eyes closed and accepting his fate: "Fine..."
Jaune, inhaling: "Jaune Viridian CerĆŗleo..."
Jaune, looking straight ahead: "... AƱil Pourpre Rubedo Damascos..."
Weiss: "That's unconvent--
Jaune, squinting from the emotional effort: "... de la Doncella de OtoƱo dei Santissimi Fratelli Grimm...
Blake, wide eyed: "Uh..."
Jaune, blinking again: "... Rex and d'Arc."
There's a silence. Everyone expecting there to be more name.
Weiss: "You have to be joking."
Jaune, resigned: "I wish..."
Ruby, blinking several times: "That was one name?"
Blake, genuinely impressed: "'De la Doncella de OtoƱo'?"
Jaune, rubbing the bridge of his nose: "Family tradition."
Weiss: "'Rex'? As in 'king'?"
Jaune: "One of my ancestors, allegedly."
Nora, smirking again. "His name is already holy, I think?"
Jaune, fully defeated. "Santissimi. Yes."
Ren: "It means 'Most Holy'."
Yang: "Of course it does."
Ruby: "And 'd'Arc' is at the end?"
Jaune: "That's the actual family name."
Blake, genuinely curious: "How long did it take you to learn to write your own name?"
Jaune: "My parents had to explain it to my teachers first."
Ruby: "I don't feel bad about 'Ruby Yin Rose Xiao Long' anymore."
Yang: "You mean mister 'my name is every color of the rainbow, and also holly, and also a king'?"
Nora, proudly: "I call it the director's cut."
Yang immediately burst out laughing, so did Nora. Even Pyrrha had to hide a polite smile.
Ruby and Weiss silently considered in what order to add Rose and Schnee at the end.
