Well, it lists it without brackets which suggests its been made official somehow, but I haven't seen anything to suggest that myself. The fans seem to have widely taken it on as her name regardless, though. Anyway. 潮 reads as 'Ushio' and not Izumi, right? Or am I missing something?
Also: I'm not sure how to tag 1B, but she needs to a character tag since both she and 1F (who I'm proposing we call "dark-skinned girl") have fanart.

Well, she did speak in episode 6, so maybe the closed captioning confirmed her name? I looked at some of the internet discussions here, and it looks like that may be it. I don't know Japanese well enough to tell (is one saying the subtitles read "Tachibana"?) There isn't any picture evidence there like with Keiko and Ushio, though, so I don't know...
Ah. I got the impression it had been by some of the conversation in that entry and I just did a quick doublecheck on the internet. According to the NicoNicoPedia and it looks like her name has indeed been confirmed by both the subtitles on episode 6 as well as her seiyuu (Nakamura Tomoko.) GWSNTY confirmed for Himeko! I guess we need to go get some renaming and aliasing done.
As of yet, she doesn't appear to have one; she hasn't had any spoken lines or anything like that, right? I'm sure as soon as an opportunity to learn it or any of the other mob characters' names arrives, the Japanese fans will quickly spring into action and provide answers.
There are different readings of that kanji, but searching around, it seems "Ushio" is the most common. If it ends up being different (assuming that the classmates' name reading will be confirmed at all) it can be aliased later, though.
Ah, I hadn't thought to check multiple sites for readings. Well, that's a new resource for me so thanks for that!
I made a tag for Haruko and Noboyo as well, but uh. What episode was it Nobuyo's name confirmed in? I can't seem to find a shot with subtitles or anything. (Mind you, I haven't really watched K-On! either, so I'm a bit in the dark in that sense.)

I've watched only the first season 笑
anyway, as I said before, I've just chosen for each name the most common readings (and in the case of Ushio, I've checked that site). Let's wait for further informations from Japan.
