The wiki description is clear enough:
name: in general, the most prominent signposted name or the most common name in the local language(s)

No plural is used, and for a point in the middle of the sea, one may have a hard time to find locals.
I'd say that puri-lingual name(s) with a separator makes sense, but in another tag. That way, people using the data hoping that the name tag follows the definition won't be misleaded.
In the absence of the tag name, they can use whatever fallback they choose to. Be it name:xx or this new tag for several bordering languages.
And yes, the complete absence of the name tag does not bother me at all.
