Perfect, that is what I am going to do too then.

I am leaning toward using the GNS/JOG name as I just ran into a situation where the same name (no source listed) was on the OSM for 3 different settlements 10km apart, but the name from GNS and on JOG was unique for each of the 3 so I went with the GNS/JOG names for each and put the existing name as an alt with a note.
