Good thing neither Jaune nor Weiss have that problem.

In case you are forgetting, Weiss also has the choice to follow her family legacy, and keep it as it is. Weiss’s character is about her wanting to CHANGE her family legacy, which may require her to willingly break her family legacy, not uphold it.

As it stands, Weiss is supported on her quest, which we can garner from Winter and even her father funding her until Weiss started ignoring him. Comparatively, Jaune's parents phrased their acceptance of him failing not as a possibility, but a probability.

So out of the 2 of them not only is Jaune more interested in keeping the family name, but circumstances make him feel like he can’t more often than Weiss.
