I think it'd be good to add "Big Apple" nickname as a popular (and
searchable) kind of placename for a New York:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/61785451
However nicknames are not defined on the wiki nor used too much as
"nickname" (just 44 objects):
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/nickname
The currently stored names (tags without language codes) are:
alt_name=New York City
name=New York
official_name=City of New York
short_name=NYC
Should we add "nickname" as another standard naming scheme in wiki
definition?
