Not at all inappropriate. All of the forms will be linked together,  
but unless the names are merged the editions are unlikely to get  
merged together into a single work.

You've probably seen that when you click on "merge authors" it shows  
you how many editions are linked to each form of the name. If you  
don't know of any reason to do otherwise, you can opt to link all  
forms of the name to the one form that has the most editions (which is  
usually given already as the default master name). If all factors are  
equal then you get to choose one by whatever criteria you wish.

happy merging!
