I'm not sure it has to be discussed here but for me, "official_name" has not been created for that. Read the wiki and see the examples : name=Andorra + official_name=Principado de Andorra. or name=France + official_name=République Française If locally, the name is showed differently from its common version (and only locally), the use of "loc_name" or "reg_name" tag is also perfectly valid. So let the local community decides how they use name/loc_name/reg_name/official_name...
