Whether you use <landuse=moor> or <natural=moor> to describe the area, 
you should use <name=Ilkley Moor>'for the actual name.
There are variations of name you can use for the local or historic names

That's no different to having a small industrial area in a large 
residential town, just tag the greater area as the moor and 
<landuse=residential> or <building=yes> for the built-up bits.
