text: Yeah, we shouldn't be mapping names that are attributes on the the city's internal GIS, especially where they're just derivatives of the surrounding street names.
  
  I just found this tag which is relevant to this discussion: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:noname%3Dyes

  Anyway, I think we've pretty thoroughly mapped alleys in the city that do actually have names. And it is useful to make that distinction by removing name values where none are marked/signed/known out in the real world.
