Naming things as they are said makes it difficult for machines to give you
a human readable name. In Osmand, if you touch a POI, for example a hotel,
it says Hotel xxx. So if someone named it "Hotel Park", it will say "Hotel
Hotel Park".

Likewise, if we have a different word for hotel, like inn, maybe you don't
want to have them both said.

I'm not saying we shouldn't put those words in a name, I'm just saying we
have a (small) problem.
