I just mean a big set of objects with lat/lng values and multilingual names
available in geonames.org database.

For example, if I zoom out in marble - I see continent and countries labels, if
I zoom closer - I can see some cities inside the countries, if I zoom in even
more closer - I see more city names inside some country.

I'm not sure where they all are coming from, but they are all objects at least
with name + lat/lng values. Geonames.org database provides much more geo
objects than I can currently see on Marble (more cities, rivers, lakes,
mountains, objects inside cities etc). So my suggestion is that objects from
geonames.org database could be somehow shown on Marble globe too.

As far as I understand, this database is open under free license, so I think
this could be rather logical integration. They also have some public web
services to retrieve data from the database copy on their server, but the whole
data can be downloaded and imported in some 3pty server database too.
