<p>Well, the hex color it leads to is technically called 'Rust'... So maybe you could say that the author indirectly or, perhaps deliberately, named her 'Rusty'. It would explain why she is so clumsy but, then again, I do not know much about Japanese culture or anything. So saying that someone is being rusty might not make sense in translation. It's a thought, though. I'm curious though. What are the Japanese words for 'rust' or 'rusty'? Maybe it makes for a fun nickname.</p>

The Japanese word for rust is "錆" (Sabi). The word for rusty is "さびた" (Sabita). It may or may not work as a nickname. I'm not sure. However, in another anime, a character was nicknamed "courage" so it might translate fine. I'm not entirely sure though.
