Even in Britain, the context will clear it up straight away. Humans are, theoretically at least, very good at dealing with ambiguity. I'm hard pressed to think of a conversation where context clues wouldn't either make it abundantly clear, or prompt further questions about, which "Met" one is talking about, between a world famous art gallery and the police head quarters probably more famously known by another name.
Would this conversation ever happen?
I'm going on holiday to New York City. I'm going to the Met to check out their impressionist paintings.
Oh, they turned Scotland Yard into an art gallery now?

It's not really about 'people will be confused' anyway, I just mean it's bad brand awareness, it weakens the identity. The only example I can think of with a strong brand for a generic name is Apple.
