Hang on a minute... the name tag should contain the most common name,

tags for enthousiasts to store official names, legal names, alternate
names, brands, operators etc which, in a certain frame of reference,
can also be "correct" in their own way. What goes in the basic "name"
tag should be what "most people" would call it, and, implicitly,
should be written how "most people" would write it. IMHO "most people"
would write Spar, Asda, Brantano and only trademark junkies would
write ASDA for example (discounting people who would write any answer
in all capitals anyway).

I would write what it says on the sign on the shop. That's why I tag
ASDA as ASDA, that's what it says on the sign. I don't look at their
website, their advertising or their letter heads. I use ground truth.
I'm not a trademark junkie, I'm a mapper who tries to get it right.
