Princess Yue + Clones + Legendary Help Please

Building a deck rn and am curious about this case that I havent seen asked about anywhere (despite Yue prompting many other questions):

So say I have [[Princess Yue]] and another legendary creature on the field (for the sake of this example let's say [[Arcanis the Omnipotent]]).

I cast [[Mirror Image]]. I have it enter as a copy of Yue, it dies to the legend rule, it comes back as a land named "Moon", and I have its copy ability target Arcanis this time.

  1. Does the fact that the clone is named Moon mean that the legend rule doesn't apply despite it also entering as a copy of Arcanis? (My instincts say I wouldn't have to sac anything in this case, but I'm not 100% sure)

  2. A few turns later, this time it's Yue and [[Eligeth, Crossroads Augur]] on the battlefield, and I still have the Moon/Arcanis/Mirror-Image land. If I cast [[Clone]] targeting Yue, then have it target Eligeth on the return-as-a-land etb, do I have to sacrifice either the Acanis Moon or the Eligeth Moon since it's two legendary lands named Moon?

I know that returning as "a land named Moon" doesnt by itself make the clone legendary, the issue is whether or not I can have two Moon/clones copying different legendary creatures without having to sacrifice one of them because I have two legendary things named Moon.
