That's why we can't have the original names, characters have evolved since that time. Most of these names are not who they are anymore. Irrelevant, imo. If they continued to credit Ginny as Mary Margaret after she explicitly expressed her desire not to be called as such, I can live with Regina being named Evil Queen.

If that spell in 404 had been permanent would it become impossible to keep the page named Hook because he would no longer have a hook, but a hand?

Whether or not she is good in the current timeline, her original counterpart is Evil Queen, she was credited as such, and we should not eliminate the possibility to use original names for everyone (Snow White, Grumpy, Prince Charming etc.) because one character is no longer a villain. Sure, Evil Queen is not Roni, and Roni is not an evil queen, but, as I said, we can't find a name that suits all 3 Reginas (given "Regina" is not accepted). Evil Queen is perfectly possible as per the suggested options, it shouldn't be ruled off just because she hasn't been evil for 6-ish years. Regina is no longer the Evil Queen and just because she was once the Evil Queen doesn't mean her development and growth shouldn't be taken into account. If you want to go against the show, that's fine. She was Regina before becoming the Evil Queen, so saying her original counterpart was the Evil Queen is not entirely accurate. Evil Queen is merely a title, a nickname, created by the EF residents, but she has always been Regina. That's what we've been telling you from the start. "Evil Queen" is a nickname yes, but '''she was credited as the "Evil Queen" for her EF counterpart. '''We can't ignore that according to the policies.
