Ah sorry I wasn't aware you were working on this :/
I should have commented on the bugs saying geonames is on the way.
I definitely plan to expose alternate names as well.
I guess you're right, we could have added it to timezonemap. My reasoning was that the new library's purpose is to provide access to the geonames.org database; whereas timezonemap is a widget which only happens to use that database (and might use the new library as a backend).
