mkgmap has an option that pretty much does this without having to
modify the input files.

Use the --name-tag-list option and set the tag that you want to use as
the name:

    --name-tag-list=name:en

You can also give a list of tags, the first one that exists is used
    --name-tag-list=name:en,int_name,name

This means that name:en will be used if it exists, if not then
int_name will be used and finally plain name.
