We didn’t get an explanation of why season three’s Rapunzel was called that but she was a princess and I can picture royalty giving their children unique names, but why would an ordinary woman be called Rapunzel? People are named after a lot of stuff. The bigger question was who names their child Cruella. XD

I doubt we need the backstory on every name, like we never knew Red’s name, and no one ever really questioned it. Like we have a Fiona and a Malcolm and then their son...Rumplestilskin. We know Rumple's name's backstory actually. Malcolm hated his own so much that he named him "a perfect name". But, I agree that it's awkard anyway xD
