We don't discuss hypothetical situations. The wiki is a source of information, not a compilation of everything we think/speculate/theorize.

The discussion isn't "What if they kept the names" or "Mother's name so...their name?". We work with the facts presented.

Are their names Anastasia and Drizella? No, not even mentioned in passing. Jane mentioning their process of choosing names doesn't make it any different.

Do they resemble the characters? Barely. This was already discussed.

Are their stories similar enough to warrant an allusion? Maybe.

However, they aren't based on/ adapted from Disney's Wicked Stepsisters just because of who their mother is. There's not enough information to establish that. We can't say that Poseidon is Zeus and Hades' brother on Once because it was never shown to be the case. We can't say Ariel's father is Triton because there's no information that says so. Thus, we can't assume that Clorinda and Tisbe share the same last name as Lady Tremaine.

A possible middle ground is to say loosely inspired by/alluded to the Wicked Stepsisters from the Disney film, but I think allusions are used a little too generously.
