Besides, most people aren't going to know the names of the King and Queen in the film. They were never used, just written in runes on their tombstones. (And only true lurkers like us would endeavor to find out!) Disney missed a huge opportunity, by not naming the King and Queen, Kai and Gerda. It is great, that OUaT decided to do it.

PS: we better learn that Aurora's mother's name was Briar Rose, in the second half.
