The UK has Bury St Edmunds, Chapel St Leonards, Lytham St Annes, Ottery St Mary, St Andrews, St Anne, St Austell, St Blazey, St Columb Major, St Helens, St Ives, St Monans and St Neots all as town names in OSM. The only two "Saint .*" towns in the whole British Isles' OSM are Saint Helier and Saint Peter Port, both in the Channel Islands. Both have French influences. And just to thumb its nose at us, nearby Alderney has the town of "St Anne". So I don't think they can be a great example. Near "St. Louis" (Missouri - abbreviated that way in OSM), OSM has the towns of "Saint Clair" and "Saint James". In the same area, there's St. Charles, St. Peters and East St. Louis (IL). In the St. Louis metro area, there are roughly 4500 ways named "St\. Louis.*" and roughly 3500 ways named "St Louis.*". There are also roughly 3500 ways named "Saint .*" So this is not a standard well kept.
