And Aurora is Sleeping Beauty Jr., as in, her mother was the first person Maleficent put under the Sleeping Curse, but we don't know what her mother's name is, or her father's.

Ok. But then who is the Aurora in the Disney movie? Because the one in OUAT looks nothing like animated Aurora, and in the Disney movie her parents are royals. So when I hear she is the daughter or the original Sleeping Beauty it just mind fraks me because I don't know if they mean animated Aurora was with child when she was sleeping, as she did in the original written story, and OUaT took that and named that baby Aurora and that is the brunette we are seeing now.

The confusion lies in that OUAT has made a pretty good effort of making (at least) the princesses on the show resemble their animated counterparts, except for Aurora. PLUS they change her story... it just doesn't make sense to me right now. I hope they end up clarifying things...
 * sigh*

In Disney canon, the original Sleeping Beauty is named Aurora. In OUaT canon, Aurora is the original Sleeping Beauty's daughter.

It's that simple. You're overthinking it.
