You are right, inscription seems to be an inappropriate term for
titles. If we want to use a more appropriate tag for titles, it makes
more sense to use "title" or something similar.

How do we want to proceed? If i've counted correctly, five of us
(including me) would prefer another tag and five think that "name" is
fine. Would some of you that wrote that "name" is fine also be fine
with a new tag "title" or similar?
