Issue in tagging 'Recipient' as Address Components in usaddress Version 0.5.11 and Later

[lxmn]

The current version of usaddress starting from 0.5.11 is tagging the recipient as an address, whereas version 0.5.10 correctly tagged this entity as a recipient.

With version 0.5.14
The Input string
Hanna N Mallberg

Current Output

usaddress.tag("Hanna N Mallberg")
({'AddressNumber': 'Hanna', 'StreetNamePreDirectional': 'N', 'StreetName': 'Mallberg'}, 'Street Address')

Hanna - AddressNumber
N - StreetNamePreDirectional
Mallberg - StreetName

With version 0.5.10
The Input string
Hanna N Mallberg

Output

usaddress.tag("Hanna N Mallberg")
(OrderedDict([('Recipient', 'Hanna N Mallberg')]), 'Ambiguous')

Hanna N Mallberg - Recipient

The problem is that the newer version of usaddress incorrectly classifies what should be tagged as Recipient into various address components, which was not the case in the previous version.

Could you please help me with this ?

Hi @lxmn, thanks for bringing this up! Is this issue happening when entering just the name as you have here, or does it also come up when entering in an address to go along with it?

Also, if you have any more examples of this issue happening, that would be a huge help! No worries if not, of course.

Bumping this, with some extra insight that if you're looking to just tag a name without an address, we also have the probablepeople parser that would be better suited for this.
