It features in the Halloween Town world in the Playstation 2 games Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II, where it is referred to as Curly Hill. We can presume that it's actual name is Curly Hill, as Kingdom Hearts II is a Disney Game, and Disney hold ownership, and therefore official authority, of all aspects of the The Nightmare Before Christmas franchise.
