No, "name" is ok, as long as it can be referenced somewhere. basulm is often a good reference :) But at least the name should be given somewhere, better as "description" than not at all like you have been doing, to my annoyance.
Also, the use of "ref" tag for aerodromes is deprecated. This usage was introduced by some dummy who believed IATA codes were the only codification possible. Today we use "icao" and "iata" for the respective codes, and "local_ref" for local references, like those from basulm, or similar schemes in Italy. The Russian codification is even more complicated and confusing :(
