I don't think this is about "Is my headcanon true?" but:

- Where's the evidence?

- Is there counterevidence?

- Is it enough to make a decision? In-show source? Outside source?

Evidence for the name being the same is a statement by Wish Hook. Evidence against it is in-show WR inconsistency. There are no overwhelming sources outstanding that which can be used to add it (and we don't add it due to prior discussion/ community decision). In other words....

Reliable (questionable) statement vs Inconsistencies, and when both sides are pretty much at odds, precedent says we side against unsourced claims. Like Wish Smee.

You can disagree, but that's the precedent. So, it's "Overturn Precedent" or "Find some sources". It isn't speculation. Not only does WHook state as such, he has to have the same set of parents, unless the writers are doing a new take on how humans reproduce, which I don't think is the case.
