In case you've forgotten, most protagonists need to be distinguished from other people, especially if they come from a family of multiple same-sex siblings like Ariel did. That includes having variation in name and appearance.

If anything, Ariel wasn't even recognized enough for most of her accomplishments, as Belle's stealing her credit (and it doesn't help that Linda Woolverton claimed Belle was the first to do these things and even went as far as to insult the prior DPs before Belle, especially Ariel, despite her doing a lot of proactive things in her film).
