I can't speak for common usage, but my FOAF profile lists three values
for foaf:name for me (two in English for "Dave" and "David", and another
in Japanese for no good reason).
In general, I don't think RDF maps very well to an object paradigm,
unless you set it up so that "somePerson.name" yields a set, rather than
a specific value.
