All that this kind of names are appearing in the french land registry
(cadastre) too.
There are not all appellations in use among the majority of the inhabitants,
but the farmers do.
A lot of them are a parcel name meaning to name a bunch of a group of parcels,
but a few among them are real place names.
I enjoy putting them and select those that seem to be a identified large place,
differing of a description of the form of the parcels (« Devant le Moulin »
(Afore the Mill ) versus « Les Bandes noires » (The Blacks Strips).
I cannot see these place names as really old as it is impossible to have a
sense of their use without being a permanent rural inhabitant.
For those whose who prefer a route planner not displaying too many names, it
could be up to the publishers letting the user deactivate the locality places
(choice would be better).
OpenStreetMap Franc displays a mashup mixing OSM data and the cadastre (place
names and addresses) :
