Isn't rather Rivendell the commonly used name, and Imladris archaic term?
Probably
As far as I recall (I don't have my references handy) elves call it Imladris and it's Rivendell in the Westron tongue the hobbits use.
Gondorian (which Faramir and Boromir speak) appears to be close relation in language terms to Sindarin: in the book in the chapter where they're captured by Faramir's men, Sam and Frodo comment on the fact that when the two rangers who are keeping guard over them speak to each other, it's in a tongue close to the elven tongue. So I've always assumed that Faramir and Boromir would call it Imladris rather than Rivendell - and it's that name it was given in their shared dream-vision-thing, "Seek for the sword that was broken/In Imladris it dwells..."
But...we are still only playing with this system, aren't we? And in any case if we decide it would be handier for us and for users to change it, we can change it.
