I agree that there isn't really a concept for naming larger (natural)
areas. In OSM you can map areas of the same kind of thing and add the names
for the smallest entities (e.g. forest) to it, but you cannot add a name
for several parts of a forest together (when the parts themselves have
names). Naming works for administrative entities, countries, cities etc,
but not for geographic entities.

Cheers
