Changing the block name would be a problem as there will be existing systems that assume that name. The sub-block names are simply informative text in the names list file, though. I would think those could be changed without creating problems. > Babylonian accents, vowels, punctuation > has ~2 systems with some overlap > may need "The Mongolian Option" By "The Mongolian Option", do you mean the use of variation selectors? > So should the names be..... > > HEBREW BABYLONIAN (SIMPLE) ATNACH I don't know that parens in names are acceptable. Also, might it make sense to hyphenate the first two words (the first word in the name of characters in the Hebrew block doesn't need to be "HEBREW"). Hence, HEBREW-BABYLONIAN SIMPLE ATNACH. Or, maybe it's just an ordering thing that's striking me as odd: BABYLONIAN HEBREW SIMPLE ATNACH, perhaps?
