The TIGER import in the USA uses name_1 for alternate names.  Perhaps  
we should view all tags starting with "name" as potential names?     
That points to using "nameEN" for the English name of a city, and  
"nameDE" for the German name of the same city, etc.

Or should that be "name:EN" and "name:DE"?
