I've been obsessing about the names of the characters on the show and their meanings. With some I like to think they're clues, in others I find amusement in figuring out how their Storybrooke names coincide with their Fairy Tale World names. For example, I read somewhere that the Mysterious Stranger's name in the show will be "Jefferson". Hmmm, I find that interesting from a clue standpoint. What does that mean? Does that mean his father's name if Jeff, Geoffrey, or or some other variation? If that's the case, then I need to figure out who "Jeff, etc." is. Now, my theory is that the Mysterious Stranger is Rumpelstiltskin's son (I'll get to the reasons why some other time, unless it's revealed in the show before I get a chance to write about theories!) So, if he is Rumpel/Mr. Gold's son, does that mean Mr. Gold's first name is Jeff or some variation? Wait a minute, what is Mr. Gold's first name?? If not, who is Jeff and is his first name even relevant as to who he actually is? Now, Rumpel's son's name in Fairy Tale World was Baelfire. How that would relate to Jefferson, I don't know, I haven't thought that far...yet.
Now that the Stranger stuff is out of my head and on virtual paper, I can get into the other characters.
I'm going to begin with the main characters in this story and later on get into the supporting characters with as much detail as possible. I'm sure there will be things I miss, but that is where you come in. I'd love to hear what you have to say (be polite...."please").
Here are the six main characters and what we know about them:
Mary Margaret Blanchard/Snow White: Last name in Storybrooke is Blanchard, the English translation from the French word "blanche" is white.
 |
| Snow White in the forest |
 |
| Mary Margaret Blanchard |
David Nolan/James aka Prince Charming: Don't know too much about that...yet.
 |
| David Nolan |
 |
| James/Prince Charming |
 |
| Snow White and James/Prince Charming's beautiful wedding |
Emma Swan/Emma: Snow White & Prince Charming's baby daughter: Her name is Emma in Storybrooke and in Fairy Tale World. Her mother is "eM"ary "Ma"rgaret in Storybrooke, it's a long shot, but anything's possible! Her last name "Swan" I find interesting, but have yet to determine what the correlation is.
 |
| Emma, wishing upon a star on her 28th birthday |
 |
| James/Prince Charming right before he puts baby Emma in the wooden wardrobe |
 |
| Snow White and James/Prince Charming in baby Emma's nursery |
Regina Mills/Evil Queen: The meaning of the name "Regina" is "Queen". Could "Mills" mean that she was the "Miller's Daughter" in Fairy Tale World
 |
| Regina with apples |
 |
| Evil Queen with apple |
Mr. Gold/Rumpelstiltskin: We all know that Rumpel spun straw into Gold, but what is his first name? For a person (or character) who is so big on names, one would think he would have one.
 |
| Rumpelstiltskin with son, Baelfire |
 |
| Mr. Gold |
 |
| Rumpelstiltskin: "Please" |
Henry Mills: I'm assuming his legal last name is the same as Regina's since he is her adopted son. Emma is his biological mother. David/Charming and Mary Margaret/Snow are his biological maternal grandparents. His name "Henry" was the Evil Queen's father, who she killed in order to enact the curse. He is the only character that isn't from Fairy Tale World. Which leads me to another question. When the curse is broken, and everyone goes back to Fairy Tale World, what happens to him?? I know this has nothing to do with his name, but it seems that the more I know, the more questions I have. And who is his real father?

| Henry |
Ok, I posted a comment on Once Upon A Time's Facebook page about the Mysterious Stranger and I'll paste it here. I don't know if I will get a chance to get to the theory before it's revealed. So, here it is:
"Maybe Rumpelstiltskin's son wrote the book that
Henry has (AND is the mysterious stranger)...Who else would know
so much about all the stories? Because Rumple loved his son, he
arranged it so he would be transported to the "real world" so he could
help Emma break the curse. And because he was "older" when he was
transported, he remembers FTW.
Also, he (the stranger) talked kind of "riddley" (like Rumple) and
Runpelstiltskin wanted to know Emma's name for a reason back in
the episode where Snow and Charming visited him in jail to find out
how to beat the curse."
