Old Man Range / Kopuwai → Old Man Range – Per WP:COMMONNAME, WP:CONCISE, and MOS:SLASH.

Mount Aspiring is the clear common name for this location; a Google News search shows roughly 40 articles using Old Man Range, compared to just one for any form of the dual name. Google Scholar shows a similar result, with roughly 800 results for Old Man Range, compared to roughly 20 for any form of the dual name.

Note that the third option, Kopuwai, receives minimal use as a name for this location and isn't an alternative common name candidate; there are 62 results for it on Google Scholar, but a review suggests that none are relevant, typically referring either to a mythological creature or to a process for fermenting maize.
