Names of things are changing ll the time. Here in Alaska, Barrow has been renamed to Utqiagvik, for example.
However, I don't think you should use the name_1 tag. There has been endless discussion on this list about the uses of tags having numerical suffixes either with underscores or colons, and I believe that notation is out of favor now. Names like this one might better be tagged either as old_name=Lake Calhoun, or alt_name=Lake Calhoun. Using alt_name has, IIRC, the additional advantage of being searchable with Nominatum.
