There's been a very extensive discussion on this topic in the Forum:
https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/restructure-wiki-page-key-name/110631
(started by a non-native English speaker, saying that the English words are
wrong!)

Consensus from the English speakers is effectively that if you say you're
going down to Aldi, then the name is Aldi, while the branch could be Aldi
<location> <store ref>

Thanks

Graeme
