I can explain (besides community consensus) why the naming convention is the way it is and should remain the same.

We can’t have Ella (Book 1) and Ella (Book 2) because Book 1 And Book 2 aren’t canon named/expressed elements in the show. Secondly, this would create a third branch to a character naming convention that we don’t need.

Current naming convention: “If it’s a character of the same name, the difference is expressed by episode.”

Ursula is the exception because there is a canon difference. Ursula the Sea Goddess is clearly an epithet difference than Ursula the Sea Witch.

We have things like (Serum), (Wish Realm), different names due to PR like Valet, Henry Mills, Sir Henry, different names due to additional namin information like Rapunzel and Rapunzel Tremaine or The Witch and Gothel/The Witch. All are PR elements or epithets, last names, or just canonically expressed. Otherwise, they get the episode title.
