If the merge can't be done, I'd choose Option 2 or Option 3, mainly because those options would cover a bulk of the characters life and their time on the show.

What if there was another option: Pick the name of the character persona that is most popular in merchandise. So Snow would be Snow, David would be Charming, Regina would be Regina (because she had the same name when she was the Evil Queen), Gold would be Rumpelstiltskin. Hook would be Hook, etc. These are the names they are most associated with and what fans are most familiar with. For characters that don't really appear on merchandise use Option 2, as the originals would be more familiar to people who know of the fairy tales/Disney films, but may not have seen the show, and are browsing the wiki out of curiosity.
