ERE Event Names

JJ2 events on the ERE are listed by their JCS names, abbreviations and all. However, many of the object-type events (i.e. those with sprites) have alternate, less editor-internal names, used in Prima's strategy guide. To take two examples, what we call "Norm Turtle" is there known as "Green Turtle," and "Monkey" is "Gorilla." Presumably this is roughly as official as the enemy names from the JJ1 readme; certainly we don't refer to the TNT pickups in JJ1 as "get the dick" just because they happen to have been called that editor-internally. On the other hand, if you use the JCS names, everyone automatically knows what you're talking about. I've long felt that both names for JJ2 events (semi-official and editor-internal) should be represented on the ERE somehow, but I'm not sure how the labeling should work. What are people's thoughts on the matter?
