Kurogane 黒鉄 (black iron) vs Shirogane 白銀 (white silver).

Lilisa Suzunomiya 鈴ノ宮りりさ vs Kaguya Shinomiya 四宮 かぐや
Less direct but Bell's palace vs 4th palace, with hiragana first names.

Hair colours are swapped though. And MC being a commoner working really hard in a rich kids school.

Haven't seen anybody bringing it up though?

Edit: mixed up which one is the commoner

True this l like the way this show handles the Ojou-sama archetype by making the MC a commoner who’s adopted into a rich family. Plus most of the characters are far from being prim and proper ladies lmao 🤣

You are mistaking very common Japanese words and vocabulary as intentional references

You're reading too much into it. These types of names are very common across the anime/manga industry as a whole. Watch/read enough and you'll start to see patterns regarding how certain characters are named and how it's related to their personality/appearance/quirk etc...

I don't know if it was a deliberate play on their surnames, but it can potentially be so because of their dynamic, from what I've seen from Episode 1, so far.

I'm definitely going down the tin-foil conspiracy nutjob route, but the student council president is:

Yukari Fujimurasaki (藤紫 ゆかり)

vs

Chika Fujiwara (藤原 千花)
