I believe I read in one of the bulletins, "...'Amgala' and its synonym, Oum Dreyga...". If someone can find that, it would show that the MetSoc does accept these occurrences in names. Amgala was adapted first because that is where the fall was first discovered and I think it is where it "started" to fall, the larger pieces being found towards Oum Dreyga. So, should a fall be named for where it "started" falling or where the majority of material was collected?
I think that meteorite name should be taken from a bigger , more importand, nearest city. So maybe this could be also used in desert, so if Amgala was smaller village or region or whatever it is and Oum Dreyga is bigger city/region then meteorite is Oum Dreyga, not matter from what direction it start to fall. I think its most easy
