I think that the Grimm English translation that I read when I was a kid (my grandmother's book) says that Snow White is her given name. I enjoy OUaT but I am distracted trying to figure out how Henry and the other kids age, but the adults don't (oh and why is Red Riding Hood a hotpants wearing hoochy mamma)
All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber
Wasn't the Evil Queen's curse supposed to transport everyone to some terrible place, but at the same time it was supposed to allow her happiness, aka her happy ending? Because they were all indeed transported to our reality (which, ya know, you can argue over whether or not it's a "terrible" place) but she sure seems like a miserable bitch to me. She still has some sort of authority over other people as Regina, but I see only a modicum of satisfaction in her life and no actual happiness. (Maybe that would be easier to decipher if they would tell us what the hell it was that Snow White took from her that made her start on the warpath to begin with.)
Also, I made it through the entire first episode convinced that Regina remembered their alternate lives, but the questions she asked Mr. Gold at the end of the second episode (when she was asking him about Henry - where he got Henry, was there anything special about Henry, and so on) made it clear that Mr. Gold is the only one we've seen so far that remembers their past. Which makes sense I guess, since he was the source of the curse.

Is her first name Snow and her last name White? I feel like her name would not annoy me as much if they said the whole thing.

In the literary past or in our present? As a teacher I think her last name is Blanchard, or something like that. And since "blanche" can mean white, that works out.

I just wandered over to Television Without Pity, and the recaps for Once Upon A Time are really good (well, for the latest episode it's still a recaplet.

Of course they're really good. It's our own Cindy writing them.

Ah, I didn't know that. (And thank God I didn't say that they sucked.)

All is well that ends in pizza.
The curse was supposed to transport everyone, but Rumplestiltskin said something to her about it would leave her with a void she could not fill, I think.. So she adopted Henry.
I think it's all "be careful what you wish for" in this case.
