Hi Donald,
This is only my opinion. Just opinion.
Is there any official organization: counsil, townhall, etc. which has
official publication in which appears the name of the city? If you entry
to the city, is there any signal indicating that you arrive to the city?
If yes, I put name=[this name] and official_name=[this name].
And alt_name_1 = [first alternative], alt_name_2 = [second alternative], ...
In your example, you comment that the names of the signs are "No. 73
Clonbrook", put name=No. 73 Clonbrook, official_name=No. 73 Clonbrook,
alt_name_1=73 village, alt_name_2 = Clonbrook
....
For the other hand, do you really mean that "No. 73 Clonbrook" in the
sign is whole the name? Can "No. 73" be a reference (ref tag) and
"Clonbrook" is the name? See the signs. The typeface is equal? If it's
different, it's possible that "No. 73" could refer to the city number 73
and Clonbrook were the name....
Regards,
Xan.

there's an interesting tradition of how the villages are named.
Basically the names on the signs show something like "No. 73 Clonbrook".
People refer to the village in several ways. "73 village",
"Clonbrook", "Number 73" and maybe a few others.
I can put the sign name on the map, but how would someone find it when
searching nominatim? How can I properly tag it so people can search
for just Clonbrook, No.73, Number 73 village, 73 village, 73 Clonbrook
and the many other possible permutations?
Thanks,
-Don.
