Maybe worldwide coverage outweighs the need to translate geonames to geojson?

Are you sure about this? I does not allow a "title" attribute per se,
but I think that you can define Features, which basically are a
geometry (the location information we were talking about) and a
collection of arbitrary properties (which one of them can be of course
"title").

{ "type": "Feature",
      "geometry": {"type": "Point", "coordinates": [102.0, 0.5]},
      "properties": {"title": "The place name"}
      }

That sounds nice too
