The CiviCRM 1.9 location API had a location name field, stored in the civicrm_location.name column. This was used by the ecivicrm module to allow users to setup an address book, with multiple mailing addresses, each with a unique name; for example a mailing address might use a nickname or add a "c/o Company Inc." or even someone else's name.

This is gone from the 2.0 location API since there is no more civicrm_location table. It might be worth considering restoring a name column for addresses (possibly it could be useful for other location entities like email, phone etc. but I'm not sure).
