That's exactly what the alias is for: Previous names is something is renamed, names that are not really the official names, common abbreviations etc.
Note however, that the file is called "sites.json", not "legal telescope names.json". That means that an "observatory site" might in be there just as well as a "telescope site". In practice, people say "I observed at Magellan ", not "I observed with Baade".
So, I would suggest to out the correct names as primary and leave LSST and Rubin as aliases.

Would putting the old name in "aliases" enough? I actually don't know if that would work as intended or not. Maybe @hamogu or @adrn know.
