There is a difference in COSE and JOSE here: 

In JOSE, there is just codepoint (for code) and description (for
people). However, in COSE there is also name (also for people).

In practice, COSE names are usually the codepoint for matching JOSE
thingy.

Registering some string COSE codepoint (at least COSE algorithm names
can be strings[1]) and naming it something else could get confusing.
