Strictly speaking, "land use" and "named places" is orthogonal entities.
Don't mix them. Just use node with place=* and name=* and area with
landuse=* but without any name=*.

Yes, land use and names are separate concepts.


This isn't correct. See, e.g., landuse=apartments, a subtag of landuse=residential indicating an apartment complex, of which, well over 100,000 have names tagged.

Neighborhoods and residential areas aren't the same thing, and shouldn't be treated as equivalent. E.g., in my city, there is a designated historic neighborhood with a name and explicit boundaries, spanning a few city blocks, and two residential areas with their own names inside it (an apartment complex with two high-rises, and a named stretch of mid-rises).
