I was trying to say that "Belle's Storybrooke counterpart" was a title that made sense while her name was unknown, now it's just a stupid name to keep xD it would be like having "Red's Storybrooke Counterpart", "Snow White's Storybrooke Counterpart", "Cinderella's Storybrooke Counterpart", "Rumplestiltskin's Storybrooke Counterpart" and so on. If there are names for the roles, why not use them? The reason her name is Belle (Enchanted Forest) and Belle (Storybrooke) is not because we on the wiki decided to just make up a counterpart name for her like that. It's on the press releases. Those are the official casting names given to Belle for each episode. You may not be aware, but this wiki has always followed for the character page names the same names given to them on the episodic press releases. Do you have any idea what a press release looks like? If not, then click on this link to look at the press release for "Lacey" :   http://www.thefutoncritic.com/listings/20130401abc16

Now tell me what you see. Her name is clearly not listed as "Lacey" on there for the role Emilie de Ravin is playing. And even if it says in the promo or sneak peeks her name is given as Lacey, that doesn't even count on the wiki. Why? Because we treat information like that as not completely factual due to it being an UPCOMING episode. All upcoming information, especially when it pertains to the subject of an upcoming episode, is only added in the set date and time the episode finishes airing. So let's say Belle does assume the name of Lacey in the episode, and we all watch the episode to see it's true. Now, when the episode finishes airing, Lacey may be added as a secondary name to her Belle (Storybrooke) page. But her actual page name and first listed name will not change because the page and first listed name are both supposed to mirror the name on the press release. Get it ?

You may notice for some character pages several characters have more than one name listed in their intro sentences. Such as, "The Evil Queen, also known as Regina...." As I said before, the first listed name is supposed to reflect the press release name given to the character, and the secondary name is usually another name or nickname the character is referred to as on the show. That's what is going to happen to Belle's page once "Lacey" is done with. It'll say, "Belle, also known as Lacey, ......"

I hope I got my point across because I'm getting pretty tired of having to go over this topic over and over. I understand people are getting antsy just because the page is not changing *now*, but be patient, okay? It's not the end of the world, lol.
