Dick, the format you describe ("name1, name2, name3, ...") is how one designates aliases for style names.

For example, I prefer to apply styles by pressing Ctrl+Shift+S, then typing the style name and pressing Enter.

I don't want to have to type "Heading 3," so I create an alias by appending a comma and "h3" to the existing style name in the style definition dialog box.

Word displays it the same way in the style selection drop-down list:

Heading 3, h3

Once this is set up, I can press Ctrl+Shift+S, type h3, and press Enter to assign the Heading 3 style to the current paragraph.

In your case, the effect seems to be that you can use any of the listed names to assign the associated style, which might be a desirable feature. If it's not, editing the style names may be required--I'd be surprised if Word listed them separately in the Organize Styles dialog box.
