Members of the reference group which helped to develop the names described it as "very emotional" for local communities, but the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre has raised further concerns about the process and the spelling of the proposed names.
The dual names are Polelewawta/Little Forester River, Leengtenner/Tomahawk River, Tangumrounpeender/Waterhouse Point, Konewongener/Mount Horror near Derby and Poonerluttener/South Mount Cameron.
The other proposed dual names are Worekarlenner/Mount William, Luemerrernanner/Cape Portland and Tangumronener/Eddystone Point.
Tebrakunna was proposed as a new name for the area between Cape Portland and Musselroe Bay.
All of the North East names were proposed by the Melythina Tiakana Warrana Aboriginal Corporation and were listed for public comment on the Placenames Tasmania website.
And all of them - aside from Tebrakunna - relied upon accounts by George Augustus Robinson from 1830-31 when he was in the North East, including some relayed to him by clan leader Mannalargenna.
A further six names were proposed in the North-West, and two on the Tasman Peninsula.
Aboriginal and dual naming reference group member Patsy Cameron AO said the process had empowered local communities.
"Our names are so beautiful. What I learnt in the On Country experience was that the North-West Coast names that were called out are so different to the North East names in terms of reflecting the difference in languages," she said.
"Most of them are dual names - this means that the colonial names, or most recent names, will also still be a part of the landscape.
"It's very emotional for communities to be a part of this and I just hope the names are received with an open heart and understanding that there are many different languages."
The names were proposed following a series of On Country visits with University of NSW adjunct associate lecturer Dr Sarah Jane Moore, who has experience in mapping elder-based teaching on the mainland.
They will be open for public comment until November 27, before the Tasmanian Place Names Advisory Panel assesses submissions and makes a final recommendation for which names are officially chosen. A final determination could be made by cabinet minister Guy Barnett.

Translations for the North East names were not included on the Placenames website, apart from Worekarlenner which translates as "woman's breast", describing the shape of Mount William.
Mount William already has a dual name, however: wukalina. This is the same word as the one proposed but with a different spelling. The example reflects the divergent views between the reference group and the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre, which was involved in the previous dual naming policy.
The new name relies upon written descriptions from the 1830s when Robinson attempted to emulate the sound spoken by the Aboriginal person, whereas the TAC uses palawa kani, which simplifies the spelling from various sources using the international phonetics alphabet.
The TAC and Aboriginal Land Council of Tasmania have criticised the new process throughout its development.
TAC chief executive officer Heather Sculthorpe said their concerns had grown since seeing the proposed names, including that the owners of the land - including wukalina/Mount William and titima/Trefoil Island - were not engaged with.
"They didn't let anyone know in advance what it was they were proposing despite the promise to consult widely with landowners and the Aboriginal community," she said.
"They give no background information of how they came by the names. We know that, for the most part, we're talking about the same names as we have found, but the spelling is different. We've done an entire sound and spelling system, they have plucked names from an 1800s word list.
"If they adopt these words, it will be totally inconsistent with the first round of Aboriginal names that were adopted."
The previous policy resulted in 14 official Aboriginal and dual names, including kanamaluka/Tamar River, pinmatik/Rocky Cape and yingina/Great Lake, but the government halted the process in 2016 claiming that local Aboriginal communities were being sidelined.
The TAC is considering whether to make a submission as part of the six-week consultation period.
A departmental spokesperson said the Place Names Office would write to affected land owners "where practical".
