I could imagine you could try to get around this by patiently explaining that stars are given lots of different names by people using various languages around the world, and that astronomers don't deal with these "common names" but rather with a scientific vocabulary, just in the same way that doctors don't say "stroke" but rather lunar infarction or sub-arachnoid hemorrhage or whatever. And that in fact there are many names for each star, and that their name is just the name given by that particular system.
