Hi
Alt_name is used for an alternative *official* name, such as a different
spelling etc.
In this case loc_name appears more appropriate to me.

Hi,
Possibly JOSM does. I used iD for this simple change. Whilst alt_name
does seem odd, so would loc_name, so I thought it to be the better of
two options.. If there's a consensus in favour of changing I'll
happily do so.

I thought that when you use a alt_name without a name, JOSM gives
you a warning.
which makes sense to me, because you provide an "alternative name" to
something that does not have a name...
