The Schnees seem to be an oddity in their own world, considering their Semblance is hereditary. Semblance is supposed to be unique from person to person. Winter said that the Schnee family is special because their Semblance is hereditary. All Schnees can use the various types of glyphs.

So, I wouldn't be surprised if everyone who has Schnee blood is born with white hair and blue eyes, regardless of how genetics normally work. There's just something odd and different about the Schnee bloodline.

We also have the fact that Jacques is the odd one out on the first name trend - Weiss, Winter, Whitley, Willow. They all start with W, but not Jacques.

It also wouldn't surprise me if Jacques took Schnee as his last name because of the company. It's a family-owned company. It only makes sense that whoever's running the company needs to take the family name as their last name.

As for where I got the name Willow Schnee from: A couple years ago, Monty took a photo of his computer and posted it with a tweet about how he was glad to be back in the Rooster Teeth office so he could get back to work. He was transferring files from his laptop onto his work computer and had a couple of Windows Explorer windows open with folders in them. Most of it was covered up by dialog boxes that were showing the progress of the transfers, but between those boxes, we could see that the folders had RWBY character names. One of the names looks like Willow Schnee.

I ended up going through and labeling the ones that I could make out. It even includes names like Flynt, Ciel Soleil, Taiyang Xiao Long (before his full name was revealed), Penny Polendina (before her last name was revealed), etc. It's also where I got the name Yue. I've kinda started wondering if we'll meet Yue this volume, just because Asian name + Asian-type culture in Mistral.
