Hi,
You have added the address as a name to some of these buildings... Why?
The name tag should only carry the name, nothing else. -
Comment from John Bek
There are many buildings whose names are the street addresses, so this is why I have named them as such. Even the building that I work in has an address for its name. But if name tags can only carry "names", then so be it

Many buildings have their address as a sign on the front of the premises .. and bless them for it!.
However ... you tagged 10 Bridge Street as the name of that building .. yet it has a name that is not '10 Bridge Street' ... see https://www.smh.com.au/business/companies/exchange-house-could-reap-130m-for-owners-20170714-gxba0u.htmlA sign stating the address does not make the address the name of the building.

It can be hard to tell sometimes, but I think that if sources (signage, local knowledge, etc) confirm that the building name is the address + street, then it's okay to put that in the name tag as that reflect it's name.

Yeah, I think I'll just leave it blank from now on anyway, if the signage states only an address.

I'd not take a simple sign stating the address as the name of the building.. I would add it as the address of that building. If I recall correctly all the 'names' I removed were not entered as the building addresses .. I did add the addresses. I did not remove 'names' that reflected addresses eg 'One on Never Street' These were left as they were .. but the address was added in the address field.
What got to me was recognising one of the building .. but not recalling its name. For the life of me I knew its name but could not recall it .. and it definitely was not the address that was entered as the name.
