Please keep to accepted names. The Oval is one of the most famous cricket grounds in the world. I cannot imagine that Test match Special will start calling Kia Oval anytime soon.

Kia Oval really is the official name of the stadium now. Here you have proof: https://www.kiaoval.com/

if you look at
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/23940674/history
you will see that in revision v9, the name Kia Oval was already present as the alt_name field.
That the Wikipædia link refers to it as The Oval should indicate that that name is most commonly used.
There is also an official_name field that could be used.
It makes little sense to have a name= and alt_name= that are identical, and OSM should be documenting the on-the-ground usage, as pointed out by Phil, whom I trust to be familiar with it. -
