Ella became Cinderella due to sweeping cinders all day. Another term for cinder? Ashley.

I found the Cinderella/Ashley connection (or the Evil Queen/Regina connection, since the name "Regina" actually means "queen") much more clever than Mr. Gold or Dr. Hopper for Rumple and Jiminy, actually. The latter two seemed overly in-your-face and therefore were too cheesy for my taste. Oy vay. Cinder / Ash. I NEVER put this together. Jeez louise!!! Good call.
