Complete minimal reproducible example

Sorry if this is not a bug. When a graph is downloaded this way:


 download_data/__init__.py
import osmnx as ox

def __main__():

    # Define the place name
    place_name = "Venezia-Murano-Burano, Veneto, Italy"

    # Download the street network data for Venice
    graph = ox.graph_from_place(place_name, network_type="walk", simplify=True)
    ox.save_graphml(graph, filepath="../data/venice.graphml",gephi=True)

    print("Data downloaded successfully!")
    ox.plot_graph(graph)


Nodes have simply an id, not any kind of defining name as edges do. It might be that they are simply that way and that most nodes don't have a name, but I would like to know if there's some way, or some command option, that helps decorate nodes with some place name.
