I'm well aware they're the same person and that there's a possibility that we will never see Eion Bailey again. But the statement could be a figure of speech as well. I certainly remember in the episode "We are Both", that David was treating his Storybrooke persona and his fairytale persona as separate in order to get the townspeople to understand their new situation. Sure, it was a different situation since, as you pointed out, he was never cursed. Even so, maybe Pinocchio doesn't WANT to go by the name August anymore. People don't have to be cursed to want to go by a different name after all. And if the name August only reminds him of how he ignored his promise...well I can certainly see why he would want to leave the name behind.

Or it could be that the scenes with Pinocchio will be all cgi puppet ones from now on.
