Yes, it is common but it's not good, since it violates the guideline "name is name only". Likewise you will find plenty of name=Friedhof on cemeteries. For a discussion of this issue, compare

I agree it's not the right place to discuss the issue in the context of one particular case, so I am fine withclosing the note.
