Well, in my usual pedestrian mannr, I went with "English Horn," and
even got the Staff Style tool to do my bidding, after several tries
of course.

French, actually. French for "English horn," which is apparently
where the term came from. Which, as you say, is neither English
nor a horn. Of course the French horn is not French, either! The
most accurate terms are "cor" or "corno" (horn), "cornetto" (small
horn), and "cornettino" (little small horn). Kind of like
"violoncello" means something like "little big violin."
You expected maybe logic?!!!

I would simply write "Oboe/English Horn," or "Oboe 3/English Horn"
(or substitute Cor Anglais if I were feeling stuck up!). And
I'm not
sure I understand your second question. In a concert pitch score
nothing would change. In a transposed score and in the part, the
transposition would change. Seems simple enough. The only
question
would be where to put the key signature change, but I would put it
early rather than late, where the change instruction appears, to
avoid confusion.
