No do not merge them.

Reason is that Baelfire, imho, refers to the lad that grew up in the EF, Landed for a short time in Victorian England, and ultmately spent many years in NL (never aging).

Given His 'apparant' age relative to Emma, I would guess he did not appear in NYC until after the curse was cast, and I am assuming that he assumed his identity when he arrived.

I guess the summary is that Baelfire is his EF/NL identity, while Neal is his LWM identity, and they ARE different identities.

The same would also hold true for August/Pinnochio.
