I think it's worth having, since it's overwhelmingly -名様 
over for exmple -名さん

i could go either way on this one.  i think i lean against including it, but not by much. but the pos needs adjusting in any case.

Hi, I gather 名様 is a respectful way of saying, essentially, "people". Should it have an entry?
