The Borough of Northampton in Northampton County, PA appears as “Northampton (2)”, as seen in the above permalink. Was this done on purpose, or an error (which I know would take editing EVERY street in the area to correct 
[unless there is a batch update I’m not aware of… 
])
I only find it mildly annoying (I live nearby, so I just get to see it on my map frequently…) and would be nice to clean up.
Thanks!
This is likely because there is another Northampton somewhere in Pennsylvania. If that’s the case, you have to have a unique name on yours. Whether it be “Northampton (2)” or “Borough of Northampton”. I think the latter would be the better option. The number in parentheses always looks bad.
If you want to make this change, we can put a request into support to get it changed as a batch. This is also the only way to get the city name to completely disappear from the client map and editor map.

That’s what I assumed was the cause (so that we didn’t end up with “Northampton” spanning the state of Pennsylvania [which, BTW, is replete with duplicate town names… {There are two Northampton Townships, Borough of Northampton and Northampton County… people needed better imaginations when naming their towns!}]).
That’s what I was hoping (I wasn’t looking forward to mutli-selecting every single street 
The Support menu-tree points back to posting to a form (Board index ‹ Community ‹ Country (Language) Forums ‹ United States ‹ US Northeast ‹ Pennsylvania)–is that the correct route to have it done in batch, or should I find the direct Waze contact?

Great–I’m in Hokey. I guess “Northampton (2)” hasn’t bugged you much, but I was thinking if we can polish up the name it’ll look nicer to newer users (actually–that was one of my wife’s first questions: “Why is Northampton have a two after it?” ).
Well, thanks! BTW–I see that the Admins auto added “Gas Stations” near their addresses–I’ll rolling through the area lining them up…
It’s always bothered me, but until recently there was no good way to handle it. Northampton (2) overall was in good shape, so fixing it was a low priority.
I’m going to move this to the PA forum.
