[OSM-newbies] How to tag a dual name city/village.

In this area of
Guyana<http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=6.0555&lon=-57.1778&zoom=13&layers=M>there's
an interesting tradition of how the villages are named.

Basically the names on the signs show something like "No. 73 Clonbrook".

People refer to the village in several ways. "73 village", "Clonbrook",
"Number 73" and maybe a few others.

I can put the sign name on the map, but how would someone find it when
searching nominatim? How can I properly tag it so people can search for just
Clonbrook, No.73, Number 73 village, 73 village, 73 Clonbrook and the many
other possible permutations?

Thanks,
-Don.
