Currently the pulsar list uses B-names as the primary name field where available and J-names as the alias. However, the IPTA data releases use the pulsar J-names as the naming convention (see, e.g., DR2 on gitlab). Since this is an IPTA resource, I think it should follow the conventions of the IPTA data releases.

A few other pulsars have multiple J-name aliases. If the B-named pulsars are changed, these should be double checked so their primary names match the names that will be used in IPTA DR3.

This is fine if it's the IPTA policy. I don't think this requires a change to the code, just the database contents.
