Sure. An example of a long name might be Harkness Crossroads, Blount County, Alabama, USA
However that is too long for some screen display. So, there is a short form of that which could be: Harkness Crossroads, Blount, Ala. The short form will fit more screens in Legacy. You have to turn on "Use short form" however. To do that, go to: Options >> View tab >> and check "Short Location Names on Screens" which is on the left side.
