Sleeping Beauty was actually named on-screen as such by the Evil Queen in "The Thing You Love Most" when she spoke to Maleficent about her. It was mentioned Maleficent had some kind of feud with her. And in "Broken", Aurora herself noted that Maleficent cast the sleeping curse on her as well as her mother (Sleeping Beauty).
Can someone clarify this whole "Who is Sleeping Beauty" thing?
We saw Philip waking up Aurora in their first scene in OUAT...

Not complicated :) In OUAT, Aurora and Sleeping Beauty are two different characters, just like Elsa and the Snow Queen or the Red Queen and the Queen of Hearts :) In our universe, Aurora is the daughter of Sleeping Beauty :)
Are you telling me that Aurora is not the beloved Sleeping Beauty and is only the daughter of the Sleeping Beauty? I can only accept that her mother had a similar fate and nothing else. Aurora was in Season 2 and her whole purpose was to use the sleeping curse she was cursed in. I am outraged.
Also weren't Red Queen and Queen of Hearts always two different characters? Like, originally? They were never the same person although they were often mistaken to be.
Couldn't both Aurora and her mother be Sleeping Beauty? Aurora's mother could be based on the fairytale while Aurora is based on Disney. Or they could just be Sleeping Beauty with different princes. Like Elsa is based on the Snow Queen, meanwhile Ingrid is the Snow Queen.
Also Elsa is not the Snow Queen, just very loosely based on her. The Queen of Hearts and the Red Queen are two different characters in two different books. They are usually mashed up in movies and tv, I guess, because they don't follow the source material.
Well, for once, OUAT is the one which does not follow the source material :)
That is insanely stupid. I am so disappointed. :( They shouldnt have given them names Aurora and Philip. Sleeping Beauty's name is Aurora and her prince's name is Philip and that's how it should be in OUAT. I hope they make this right somehow. I know that Aurora said that her mother was also under a sleeping curse because of Maleficent, but I never knew that her mother was actually Sleeping Beauty. Argh, that's really wrong.
The alias, or pseudonym, Briar Rose could play a significant distinction between the Aurora we all know and love, and the daughter.
I've heard that in the Grimm story of Sleeping Beauty, that Phillip actually raped her (not kissed) as she layed unconsious, and became pregnant while asleep... and she woke up to the baby beinng born or something like that. It's unlikely, but I wonder if this is somewhere OUAT will explore, and if that baby that woke up Sleeping Beauty is this brunette Aurora we see. I just hope to see original Aurora/Aurora Sr. because she's one of my favorites; her beauty, her wardrobe, her hair, and the artistic style they went with in the animated movie surpasses any other style I've seen.

Additionally, like what Lady said in an earlier post, Aurora is confirmed to be Sleeping Beauty's daughter. In this article (http://www.tvguide.com/News/Once-Upon-Time-Spoilers-Horowitz-Kitsis-1054834.aspx), the writers confirm the Sleeping Beauty that the Evil Queen and Maleficent spoke of in "The Thing You Love Most" was a mention of Aurora's mother.
Well I can accept this. But anything else will be outrageous (for me).
