HR 2286 (mu Gem) is also known by the proper name "Tejat" or "Tejat Posterior":
(1) Joseph Piazzi (1814) "Praecipuarum Stellarum Inerrantium Positiones Mediae Ineunte Saeculo XIX. Ex Observationibus Habitis In Specula Panormitana Ab anno 1792 ad annum 1813".
(2) Elijah Hinsdale Burritt (1840) "The Geography of the Heavens, and Class Book of Astronomy; Accompanied by a Celestial Atlas" (5th Edition, with an introduction by Thomas Dick. New York, F.J. Huntington and Co.). ["Tejat"]
(3) Richard Hinckley Allen (1899) "Star-names and their meanings" (G.E. Stechert, New York) ["Tejat posterior"].
(4) William Tyler Olcott (1911) "Star Lore of All Ages" (G.P. Putnum's Sons, NY and London; republished as "Star Lore: Myths, Legends, and Facts", Dover Publications, Inc., Mineola, NY, USA 2004) ["Tejat"].
(5) Dorris Hoffleit & Carlos Jaschek (1991) "The Bright Star Catalogue" (5th edition; Yale University Observatory, New Haven, CT, USA) ["Tejat Posterior"].
(6) Paul Kunitzsch & Tim Smart (2006) "A Short Guide to 254 Star Names and Their Derivations" (2nd Revised Edition, Sky Publishing, Cambridge MA, USA) ["Tejat"].
Some references specifically refer to mu Gem as "Tejat Posterior" and label eta Gem as "Tejat Prior" (however that star already has the more common name "Propus" in most references).
I recommend following Kunitzsch & Smart (2006), and simply adopting "Tejat".
