Note

"In this example the "made-up name" applied to the roads was "Heath Interchange",
and it was added in https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/111733622 by
https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Falsernet .  I'm very familiar with that area and
can guarantee that that is not the name there."

Which of this names you (or anyone else) can confirm to be real?
Is "Heath Interchange" an actual local name?


> Can these be mapped as name:local= ?
>
if mapped, if not mapped using name tag then standard
