Comment (by lonvia):

 name should generally contain what is used 'on the ground'. Though, what
 that exactly means may be interpreted different from region to region.
 Definitions are even less clear for the alternative name tags. I recommend
 that you ask your local community (probably the
 [https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca talk-ca mailinglist] in
 your case) about the best use of the tags so that they are consistent
 within the region. They can also help with the finer details of relation
 mapping.
