It doesn't make much difference for the global index. There is only
ever one copy of a name for a map/city/region/country combination
in the global index. It is only the individual map tiles that contain an
entry for each road with the same name. The global index only says
that a particular map has at least one road with a given name.

If Mapsource or a device crashes because of the large number of names,
then we will just have to limit the number, it would not be optional.
