It does have a name:de though, like other French departements - I was rahter surprised to read "Großer Osten" on a map with German labels, and later found out that there are indeed German tourist guides for this part of France that carry this name.
It is not always easy to determine whether a name is (a) harmless and in use, (b) a silly translation that has no basis in reality ("pont neuf" = "Neue Brücke", or the recently discovered Latin name "sub tilias" for the well-known street "Unter den Linden" in Berlin), or (c) a tactless reminder of times of occupation.
We shold prioritize names that are actually signposted on the ground, and for those that aren't, at least require a clear indication that the name is actually used in everyday language by living beings.
