Well, at least place names have signs on the nearby walls or poles as
a verifiable fact, and personally, I believe these are the ones that
should be used.  If several names are used in the area, one probably
need to list all of them.

If I got this story right, there is one set of signs in the area, and
someone in a neighboring area would like to have the signs replaced
with names used 30 years ago in the local area and is using OSM to
demonstrate this wish.

Happy hacking,
