As for Weiss, I think she didn't lie to Oobleck, at least not downright. I have mentioned before Weiss at the beginning of this Volume was a complete different person then she was at the end of Volume 1. She went from becoming infuriated at people insinuating bad things about the SDC to forcing visibly forcing smiles when called by her last name. She went from calling the White Fang a "bunch of liars, thieves, and murderers" to calling Blake's years with them as "fighting for freedom".

So, when she made her decision of becoming a huntress, it probably went down the way she told Oobleck. But since she has arrived to Beacon things have happened that have changed her as a person. So that reason is no longer true. She wasn't infuriated at people saying bad thing about the SDC. The only time she got particularly upset was because the remarks about the SDC were meant as a personal slight against her rather than just criticism of the company. Blake was all "Hello, complete and utter stranger, this girl is Weiss Schnee heiress to a company that commits unspeakably horrific acts against pure and innocent people. Bye now." Most people would get offended.

(..) Thing is, during the SHining Beacon, Blake first calls Weiss "Heiress" to the SDC to which she react with pride and then, when Blake brings up the "problems" about the SDC business is when Weiss shows personal offend. THat's why I say that at that point, Weiss took her family name with pride.
