So Beacon's whole "Family" system that's been getting more and more popular has come with a few issues, most notably, apps of people unaware of said notable families using the same lastnames, not that this is a problem, obviously. However I thought we might need a simple guide for this so people are aware, if there's some big hunter clan/family you think I'm missing, let me know. With that, I'll get right into it.
Vermilion
Okay so the Vermilion family is the first one to have this "issue" if you can even call it that, so here we go.
How likely a new member is to use the name: Highly, it is a fairly well known color that sounds unique enough to be cool, so I doubt most people using it will have known anything about the family beforehand.
Who to ask about creating a member of said family: ZenoDubs, he created the family for Beacon so he should have all knowledge and help you'd need to make an OC for them, assuming he lets you make one, obviously the family being his it is his choice, you could maybe still use the name and not be related to the main family, but I'll leave that up to the other admins.
Notable members: Vexsus Vermilion, Vice Vermilion, Vellahan Vermilion(maybe?)
How likely a new member is to use the name: Probably middle of the road, I haven't seen it yet, but it isn't exactly uncommon, or too out of the norm for RWBY names, so I wouldn't be suprised if we see a few people trying to use it once or twice.
Who to ask about creating a member of said family: SammealTheDarkOne, like Zeno, he created the Silbers and their family tree and history, obviously he doesn't have to let you make one, probably won't (not as a judgement, I just get the impression that Sam wants to keep the family mostly controlled to stuff he 100% knows about.) However, if you for some reason wanted info on them, or to try your chance at joining, Sam would be the one to ask.
Notable members: Ferrum Silber, Gilga Silber.

Silber
The Silber family hasn't had this issue yet, but I assume if anyone were too soon it'd be them, as it's probably the next most common name that you'd see used out of the families.

Alleen
How likely a new member is to use the name: Likely won't ever happen, it isn't the most common even by RWBY/Color standards (I dunno if it even means a color, RIP.) So we won't really have to deal with this, with them.
Who to ask about creating a member of said family: drwho101, though I doubt it'll happen. Dr's a really nice guy, but the Alleen have their own mini story and a lot of weaving, inter-connecting parts that lead me to believe Dr would want it mostly under control, however again, worth a shot asking right?
Notable members: Ashby Alleen, Ashbina Alleen, Ashy Alleen (Noticing a trend?)
If you need more info on any of these families, from just what little I know...
Vermilion are fire semblance spamming maybe mafia hunters, so if that's a cool vibe or idea you want, there you go.
Silber are rich as all hell people with a bunch of nutso tech and...Maybe blondies? Maybe white hair, I honestly can't tell sometimes.
Alleen members are mostly theme-named, as science-y as the Silbers with more of a focus on science stuff, green or black seem to be their hair/general color themes.
If I got anything wrong about any of the OC families, or one should be added, let me know, but I think this post needed to be made so newer members might have the info at hand when going in.
