I've discussed this in private before, and "Sleep Princess" is probably the most accurate localization of the name, keeping the Sleeping Beauty among other fairy tale inspirations in mind along with the literal meaning of the text and what works and sounds best in English.

Since "Sleeping Beauty" doesn't exist within the Evillious universe and both the song and novel have used the phrase to be poetic about Margarita's suicide, I'd stick to "Sleeping Princess" to keep that parallel made clear.
