So this index is used in iD and it's supposed to suggest names of
shops/amenities that are part of some chain. (like: McDonald's, Aldi,
...). But due to how it works (counting occurrences) there are generic
nouns that end up here, which is bad tagging (like shop=bakery
name=Bakery [1]) and could form a feedback loop that proliferates them
even more.

I ask non-English speakers to find anything they are sure it's a noun
and not a proper name. name-suggestions.json specifies name
suggestions and filter.json specifies what "non-names" should be
filtered.

Some examples I found that need confirmation:

Аптека
Apotheke
Boulangerie
Пекарня
Зоомагазин
Обувь
Стройматериалы
Салон красоты


[1] For the sake of example, as "Bakery" is filtered already
