What sort of address do you call that?

When a customer calls they need to tell me their number and confirm that with their name and address.
There is a new trend of changing house numbers to names as in;
Mr Smith
Rosebank
Fake Street
London
SW1 1AA
When asked for the name and address, too many people are saying:
Smith - Rosebank.
I see, so I post a letter to Mr Smith, Rosebank from John o'Groats, it'll get to you will it?

"a new trend of changing house numbers to names"
Most of the houses here have neither numbers nor names. This includes a posh housing estate across the road from me. About a hundred houses, and far too posh to be numbered. And not enough imagination to name the houses.
The Post Office employs psychics, I think.
