The thing is Neal and Bae are NOT counterparts.

Unlike everyone else, his situation (and August's) is EXACTLY THE SAME as Emma's.

I mean, when we see the baby with Pinocchio, it is not Emma SWAN (but it is in Emma Swan's page). She became Swan after being taken by some family. Bae became Neal just by changing his name.

Just like Charming (David) introduced himself as James to Snow. It is a name change, not more than that.
