So she would have been the one to reveal Rumple’s name to everyone (which is why everyone knows it now.)
I don’t think that’s true. Everyone who wanted to know, would know Rumpel’s name. He always gave his name! Each and every single time the person he was dealing with knew his name …
The two don’t have to be mutually exclusive. Rumple may have gone incognito for a while after acquiring the dark curse, but then once Cora found out his name, possibly sharing that powerful knowledge with Regina, he didn’t bother keeping it secret any more. They still give lip service to the idea that people’s names hold power (the guard told Snow and Charming not to tell Rumple their names when they first went to visit him). But you are correct that it no longer seems that if you know Rumple’s name you can control him.

Ok, this is going to sound twisted, but a minor theory that originated with hjbau has got me thinking that Mr. Gold will end up killing someone by the end of the season. And personally, I think it’ll be August. And on top of that, I have a sneaking suspicion that August is also Baelfire. Maybe Mr. Gold gets a hold of the dagger and ends up stabbing August, and in August’s dying moments reveals that he’s Bae.
😥 Not sure I could take that!!! But the fact that we did not see any FTL in the previews makes me believe even more that August is Bae, and they didn’t want to give that away in the preview. I do think Rumple and his son had a falling out after the Dark Curse. I just hope they are able to resolve their issues before the series ends.
