As an example, this path is called "The Ruins Track" by the author of the guide, as it passes the ruins of an old settlers cottage: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/855355616
This part of the track is called "Racklyefts Finger Track": https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/856270065 Due to the existence of the guide, and the lack of signs on the ground, I imagine that most people use the names in the guide, or no name at all. However, I do not belong to a local walking group, so I don't know if there are other conventions. However, the author of the guide has walked all the tracks himself, and created and maintains some of them.
