A postcode area in Sweden is much bigger than half a dozen houses.
But I was more commenting cases were you need to search just for the name in a larger area. Like in the emergency service scenario. Also how do you say the apostrophe in the name when giving the address?
And people will know that the spelling can be simplified so the history is kind of preserved anyway.
