Different people have different expectations for what data can be added.
Some even add tags for phone numbers.  For large public-facing businesses such
as hotels it obviously makes sense to put the full name on the map.  For
people's houses it would be crazy to list the occupants (though some OSM
contributors have marked their own house with a note tag!).  A medical practice
is somewhere between the two.  I guess if it is listed in the phone directory's
business section under a particular name, then that name can go in OSM.
