It's just kind of overdone and at the point where Emma and Hook are, I feel like they don't need hope so much as they did before season 7. Hope is always needed of course, it would have just been more impactful if it had been born and named before the Black Fairy's curse. Still, I approve of it. Typical or expected isn't always bad! I mean, they could have named a baby Belle, Liam or Milah...

Maybe Hope will end up just being the casting call name? There wouldn't be a casting call, they probably just put out a thing that said they need a white (and preferably female) baby. Babies aren't roles so much as glorified props, as far as casting them is concerned. I know, it was tongue in cheek.
