Is it the leading common name? I see there’re 3 English names for NA species now, you could add both names from Wiki for those two species. It is acceptable to have same names, especially if one is not the leading name, but if you see there’re many mistakes because of that naming it’s not a big deal changing one established common name with another one or adding new ones.
