For instance, the geonames project (http://www.geonames.org/) provides

How many of them are vaguely close to the correct location though? I
tried a few local (UK) village names. About half weren't found, and
none of the others were close enough to their actual location to be useful.
So I'd switch _from_ geonames for that reason alone.
