That's probably a good rule of thumb, in any case. 
There is the issue of non-English and/or hard-to-spell 
words, however. You'd be surprised at the number of 
people who can't find something with "laszlo" in it. :)
And if the gateway was to oosaka or ohsaka...?
A better example would be, ohno or oono as opposed to ono, 
where 大野 and 小野 are both common.
