I don't think so.

Think about The Avenue and Greenwich Avenue. The first one I would
expect to find by Avenue, the second one not. But I think there could be
hard stop-words and soft ones. So first the hard once like "The" or
"Straße" will be removed. Soft stop words will be only removed if there
are other parts in the name.

Another possibility could also be a white list for such combinations.
