No, it's even bigger as there may be more than 3 names
so the example I was given on irc 
 TURBOVTSE
lat='42.526111' lon='21.283333'
2 albanian spellings
5 serbian ones
(without gross name changes as well)
TURBOVCE
TERBUC
Tërbuc
TRBOVCE
TRBUVCE
TERBUFC
Tërbufc

and two others I can't reproduce as I haven't got any non-Roman script on my 
computer
making 9 names / spellings of the name
