Talk:Preston Northwest

Northwest heir
So I've been going on my "don't call women by their husband's last name unless we knoooowwww!!!" rampage lately, and this may be a little far-fetched, but here goes:

Is it ever really mentioned that Preston is the heir of the Northwest fortune? Do we know it's not his wife? I mean, I know it's pretty rare for a family to take the last name of the wife (and the Northwests don't strike me as a progressive feminist family or anything), but if the wife was the heir to a powerful fortune and the husband came from a family of hog farmers with the last name "Scheksmurzerschein", wouldn't it make more sense to take her name? My suggestion if that we change the Northwest pages to make it more neutral, since we don't know who's the real Northwest. What do you think?   Mr B     Knew your father I did!     15:15, February 19, 2015 (UTC)
