   Over on hell-site @ashleemboyer shared the following she found in the wild:

   ```
   <nav aria-label="Navigation header with 5 links and 1 dropdown menu with links">
   ```

   It gave wrong counts, it was verbose, it used lingo, and it was utterly unnecessary (there was one other `<nav>` on the page, but in the `<footer>`).

   Most sites don’t need to (shouldn’t) have accNames on `<nav>`. If you have more than on `<nav>` in the same landmark, then maybe?

   But her example was wow.

     The site ‘fixed’ it by changing it to:

     ```
     <nav aria-label="Main">
     ```

     It has one other navigation landmark, in the footer:

     ```
     <nav aria-label="Vercel Directory" role="navigation">
     ```

     Anyway, stop over-labeling and maybe test with the users you think you are helping.
