Think of it like this.

There are dozens of Cinderellas in our world,  for different cultures, or straight up adaptations.

Its story is almost archetypal, so having another version isn't weird. Though, having them with the same exact name is just a cheap way to get the audience to recognize them. Which I ignore because......

You can have twenty Cinderellas, fifty prince charmings, but we really can't have two Lady Tremaine's, especially when episodes ago we have a knockout Lady Tremiane that's practically the Disney version. They'll probably use the Cate Blanchett Tremaine, but they should really change her name as that's not at all common. But that's not the biggest issue........

We can have two Cindys, even two Tremaines, but we can't have a "new Enchanted Forest" without it looking like a weird alternate reality. Call it Disneyia, or Fantasy Forest or any (bad) name, but we can't be that lazy.

TL;DR version: ''There are dozens of incarnations that we read, watch, and hear about today a they are simply another version. Not an AU/AR, but another person named [insert name here] who lives a similar archetypical story.''
