I'm not sure about her mother, I guess they came up with her being original Sleeping Beauty to give an easy explanation how did Sleeping Beauty "got the best of Maleficent" if Aurora is still cursed (in 2x01). Oh, that was definitely the case. It was a subtle retcon.

Though, having two Sleeping Beauties works well enough. It does not contradict the fairytale, in anyway. As, Aurora's name originates as that of Sleeping Beauty's daughter. In the Brothers Grimm version, Sleeping Beauty was named Briar Rose.

While, I think the sleeping curse is redundant, at this point. It would be nice, to learn about its origin.... the curse was used on Snow White, after all.
