In this case "OK" is fine as a button name given that the user is not actually performing any action by clicking it, they're simply acknowledging that they've seen the message.

From the Finder equivalent, which you should probably copy:

The name "Fred" is already taken.
Please choose a different name.

The button is labelled "OK".

Having read the button discussions I'm now trying to "correctly" title a button. A user types in a name which is not permitted because it already exists. So I run an alert from a textShouldEndEditing method.
When the user clicks the alert button they're supposed the fix the name.

NSRunAlertPanel(@"Name already in use",
@"Please choose a name you are not using for another entry.",


What should the button label be?

Dismiss,
Acknowledged,
Okay,
Forgive Me,
Permit Me to Try Again,
ESAD,
...?
