Alpha Monocerotis has an incorrect name Samoht

Alpha Monocerotis is displayed with the name "Samhoht", this is not an accepted name in the IAU listings, nor is it an accepted traditional name. Attempting to reference this star name will result in not much found.

You may note that Samoht is Thomas backwards, perhaps a modern version of someone trying to get their name on a star? (note the history of the stars Rotanev and Sualocin).  Do not fall for it!
