message got stuck in the mailing list as I posted using wrong sender. Sorry for late reply, still maybe an open issue.

Hi Raul,

made a script to add new name:XX values to Openstreetmap using wikipedia links from OSM and interlanguage links from Wikipedias.
Personally I see no problem here. But OSM is sometimes more strict. Wikipedia is CC-BY-SA which is no compatible source for OSM as it requires the derived work be CC as well. With the license change to ODbL this is not possible.
It all depends whether a bulk import of names from Wikipedia into OSM is considered a derived work.
Please clarify with OSM on legal-talk before investing a lot of effort that would later need to be reverted.
Hope it works because I'm a big fan of the name:xx tags and I would love to have this for other languages as well.
