David got back her cursed memories at the beginning of S1 unlike her. That's the only difference, and people would not complain about it if it was the case. Belle is also the name of her cursed persona/identity. Everyone continue to call her like that, because it is the name of  her new identity. Her cursed persona (Lacey) also gave Belle's new identity as Mrs. Gold/Belle French. On that point, she is close of Regina. Both kept their real names but it is still a new identity. And again, we won't merge or rename Regina. Because even if they remember their old memories it is still a new identity. Belle French/Gold is the new identity of Belle in SB. Belle French should stay as she is. No need to make a big deal of that ^^

Moreover, look Mother Superior from your example HMcooper. She is definitely more called the Blue Fairy than MS now. When did the show ever confirm Belle's Storybrooke persona was named Belle? When she went over the town line and reverted back to who she was before the Curse was broken, everyone kept calling her Belle right up until she turned into Lacey. And always, she would respond with "Who's Belle?" until she became Lacey, when she would outright refuse that she was Belle.

Lacey =/= Cursed Belle in season 1, but CBIS1 =/= Belle, either. She has no name and the first name she is given (outside of her EF name) is Lacey. And we later find out in season 4 that she has taken her father's Storybrooke surname, French. So in reality, while she's never been credited as Lacey, her Storybrooke name is very much Lacey French. (Note to self: Save the French maid jokes for later.)
