@Erik: Speaking as a Chinese Westerner, I don't think name orders matters much. Generally we use Western name order when speaking English and Eastern name order when speaking Chinese. It's honestly a very easy switch. Considering that Ever After High is a super Westernised school, I think a Chinese OC would likely use Western name order.

As for the Song surname, Song as a surname generally refers to the Song Dynasty, which means people with the Song surname have been descended from royalty. That seems pretty fitting for nightingale that sings for an emperor.
