Havenite teams are named after heraldic creatures. More fearsome creatures are considered to be more prestigious. It's actually tradition for graduating teams to bestow their team name to a freshman class as a sort of mentorship relationship. This is supposed to be based on the performance of the freshman team, but as most things are in Mistral, it's more commonly based on relationships between noble families and familial standing.
In theory, a team could be so good that they should be granted the Phoenix as their team banner, but unless they're from important families or have strong backers, in practicality the best a team of extremely talented no-name hunters in training could get would be Eagle or something.
Telamon Kolouris is of noble descent and controls important harbor holdings in Mistral. For this reason he has been considered an extremely important player in the last few years. His brother, and Pyrrha's father, Peleus, is captain of the Myrmidons, a security contractor that acts as Kolouris's private security.
Pyrrha is on the outs with her uncle. Her father is ever supportive of her, but by refusing to attend Haven, she's screwed up the team arrangements that her uncle had planned. He's not abandoned her, she's way too skilled and valuable for that, but you may see him in later segments attempting to pressure Pyrrha into returning back into the fold.
Pyrrha's opinion on Mistral's familial politics is that they're stupid. Family doesn't mean you're great. Your own prowess and skill mean you're great.

EDIT: oh you mean the actual name thing

As a world wide rule I agree it doesn't make much sense, although throwing it out as a whole isn't that good. You might want to have it exist as a form of rebellion against Mantle outlawing art and self expression that spread somewhat. And maybe keep the Beacon team names as colors as a possibly unrelated thing if you hadn't changed that already.

[X] All this is wasting time. Move on the big point that Yang mentioned, how they're all stalled on the next part of initiation. If the boy passes, you'll have four years to discover his secrets anyways.
This does seem to be a rather important thing, that everyone is ignoring.

[X] He mentioned Ozpin and the Tarot Examination. Interrogate him about that. You'll be better able to find out what his secret is if you dig peripherally.

It's kind of hilarious really, 'In order to express ourselves and our feelings, we're going to name our children after colours.' and presumably then they only buy the children clothes of that colour. What would be a much better way to handle it would be that at some milestone in your life you choose a new name that is traditionally colour related.

Does that make Pyrrha a rebel for mostly wearing yellow and brown?

Hmmm.... This Pyrrha might be but however I could never see canon Pyrrha doing that.

Wearing mostly yellow and brown? Uh, I hate to break it to you but...
I'm joking, you no doubt mean rebelling against her parents/society. It's hard to say. I could see some low-key, polite rebellion. Though, it's also possible that she was just being more liberal in her interpretation of her colorscheme by deciding both red and yellow are 'flame-like'. Emerald, on the other hand, doesn't wear much green at all. She's also used to living on the streets, so maybe white and brown were just cheaper to buy and she couldn't bring herself to spend much on clothes.
I'd note a lot of people's color names seem to be based on their hair. I guess parents know that no matter what clothes their kids decide to buy that color is a lot less likely to change (Ruby's an exception but look at Yang, Weiss, Blake, Pyrrha, Emerald, Mercury, etc).

We have FOUR YEARS to corner him, grill him, make him your boytoy, or whatever you have planned for him. You have lots of time to do that, LATER.
What's Important right now is to finish this initiation thing and be done with it, and then r̶u̶l̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶a̶c̶a̶d̶e̶m̶y̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶a̶n̶ ̶i̶r̶o̶n̶ ̶f̶i̶s̶t̶ making sure the rabble know who they are in the presence of.

Seriously, who cares about him. Our superiority to him will be obvious when we lead the first team to pass initiation. He, Ruby, and Yang are only interesting in so far as they will be the soldiers we lead to victory against the next part of initiation.
[X] Find out the delay, then make a rousing speech to lead your troops/ the initiates against it. You are the champion of Vital; nothing can stand in the way of yourself or the armies you lead.
(I am trying to secure us the team leader position. It will be ours in spirit regardless of whether it is ours in name.)

I kind of like this option:
[X] ...you'll let him keep his secrets. For now. Move on and ask him how me met Ruby and Yang. You doubt he'll reveal anything more anyways.
