Boundless has a simple install for PostGIS along with Postgresql. I just reinstalled PostGIS using Boundless OpenGeo Suite on a Macbook Pro after replacing the hard drive. An easy installation.
Place names are a problem. OSM continues to debate whether admin boundaries should be included. Right now we are good down to city level. Small localities such as neighborhoods and unincorporated hamlets are often just a node. Since OSM attempts to document ground truth, it is hard to create a polygon around an area that no one knows where it extends to.
The good news is that OSM is open to anyone to edit. If information is missing, you can add it. Just make sure not to copy other peoples work.
