You have a couple of options: 1. Remove the places where names are rendered from the .mss and .mml files (there will be quite a lot of these) 2. Edit the .lua file used when loading the database to rewrite the "name" and "ref" etc. with an emoty empty string or delete those tags. The [OSM Carto lua](https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/blob/master/openstreetmap-carto.lua#L63) has a "delete tags" section; it might be as simple as adding "name" and "ref" to that list. If for any reason that does not work adding the code to change those tags to [filter\_tags\_generic](https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/blob/master/openstreetmap-carto.lua#L285) would.
