> Which one is an error? The short form or the long form?

 Short form of the name is error, even through on street signs there
you will see the short form as a general rule. There should be all
first names, even "Fredrich Reinhold Kreuzwald", "Karl Ernst von Baer"
etc. In real life often only surname is used as streetname (which is
sometimes confusing, as in Tallinn there is both Peeter Süda str and
Süda str). So this should be fixed in OSM database, and I can fix it
back in the Estonian renderer kaart.maakaart.ee
