That's a good point. In German, there are name variations for many
saints,
e.g. Nepomuk = Johannes Nepomuk. There are name variations even
for the word
"saint": "Sankt", "St.", "Heiliger", "Hl.", none.
But AFAIK the official dedication for a given church is always a
fixed
version of the name. Of course that breaks comparability.

And it make sense too to also say which tag this comment is about.<br>
Please leave the name=* tag alone as it is: the words by which
something is referred to in local language (a definition missing
from <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:name"
title="Key:name">Key:<span class="searchmatch">name</span></a>
and <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Names"
title="Names"><span class="searchmatch">Names</span></a> which as
usual in this wiki define name as the name and even as the default
name, like a survey being a survey, causing everybody to have his
own interpretation of it and discussions like this).<br>
<br>
If you want to keep in line with the wiki, that is <a
href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Names" title="Names"><span
class="searchmatch">Names</span></a>, add a something_name=* to
it for your purpose.<br>
And if you want to do unlike the wiki, don't forget to specify what
to do when there are several "patron saints" like name=Église
Saints-Hermès-et-Alexandre<br>
