Hi Marko,

With the Overpass turbo tool you can find some examples in a certain area for instance all nodes with name & ref:

This Post office gets a name tag "PostNL 9320156662: Mado"
I dont think the ref tag is very useful ;-)

Also brand or operator names that are the same as the name tag, for instance brand=Esso name=Esso can be ignored.
There is a style rule that can compare if the brand name is the same as the name tag:
${brand|not-equal:name} or ${operator|not-equal:name}.
