Wikipedia, for what it is worth, have them listed as "Highlanders" for the 1903 thru 1912 seasons, before changing it to "Yankees" in 1913. Same goes with BBRef. Both obviously using a bit of historical revisionism.

Oh, you absolutely should go with whatever OOTP has. I didn't mean to suggest you change anything. You're right. It will end up causing problems down the road, most likely. Believe me, every single season my minor league leagues reset to ootp's default and I have to adjust them manually, which is a huge pain in my arse. One thing is, it makes the Gulf Coast League "higher" than the Class A Short Season New York-Penn League. I've posted a bug/complaint, but it doesn't seem to be of interest to anyone. So then I manually fix it, every single year, but doing so causes a sorting problem with Class A teams. It's not the end of the world, but it's become a huge pet peeve of mine...
Honestly, places like Baseball-Reference will use Highlanders out of convenience and that's cool. It's a lot better than listing nothing and putting an asterisk on every team entry saying "This New York team did not have an official nickname, so we leave it blank".
99.9% of the time I will call them the Highlanders too, out of convenience. It's actually kind of hard to find websites that will explain all of this silliness.
I snipped that from:

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be spamming this thread with my nonsense. Go Orioles!!
