Default Multiple Spellings

I may be flying from Stansted in the near future, so I was putting that name into various search engines. Some of them autocompleted to STANSTED and some to STANSTEAD. I finally realised the problem: Stansted Airport is in an area called Stanstead (I think).

Whenever I used to have to spell Haringey I had to look it up, until I realised that there is more than one official spelling.
