It's all about the placement: St Albans pronounced "Saint Albans" Albans St pronounced "Albans Street"
Look at this road: http://osm.org/go/eutDvk@QV- Should we tag it: name: Magdalen Road pronounced: More-da-lin Road ? That's ridiculous if you ask me. If you're making sat nav software for a market (the UK, France, America, etc.) you should be able to work out these things yourself.
