I don't think we should use this key, since it clashes with the usage of
the key name for other languages (i.e. name:<lg> ).
Something like name_signposted would be okay though.

BTW there are some objects with the key name:abbreviation, which also
clashes, is not standard and IMO can be safely changed to the key short_name
.
