No, the name is 3-methylbutan-1-ol
yes the name is as you said but i could find the same structure for both the names in chem draw!!
Although it is very fundamental nomenclature,i am not in the position to agree with your "NO"!!

I do not think there are synonmys for organic names. They are meant to reflect the structure exactly. How can you do this with a synonym?
