What do you do if there are two routes?

If the only name is the route name I think it makes good sense to put
it on the local way too, that's the name of the trail.

I've heard the assertion that a way has no name but the route that
passes over it does many times. While this is true in some cases, in
others it is not. Where the primary purpose of the way is not for
the route, this does make sense. For example mentioned by Jmapb
where the Appalachian trail follows an unnamed driveway or sidewalk.
In these cases, the primary purpose is a driveway or sidewalk for
local use, and the Appalachian Trail just happens to follow it as
well. Here putting the name Appalachian Trail on the way makes no
sense. However, there are also dedicated sections of trail built
first and foremost to be a part of the Appalachian Trail and that
have no other name. Omitting the name Appalachian Trail in a case
like that makes no sense to me. That section of trail is indeed
called the Appalachian Trail. The whole route is also called the
Appalachian Trail and that's ok.

Yes, the way name tag should be the most local trail name.
However, sometimes there is no local trail name and the long
distance route name is the only name. In this case putting the
long distance route name on the ways also makes sense.
I've been doing some mapping on the Appalachian Trail lately and
this appears to be the common practice, although the AT is
dominant enough that constituent trails sometimes lose their
local names over time.
Some mappers will take it a little too far and tag sections of
sidewalk and driveway that the AT follows with name=Appalachian
Trail (or even name=Appalachian National Scenic Trail... IMO this
is an official_name, and probably only belongs on the route
superrelation.)
It's common to see ref=AT as well, which is fine on trails (even
locally named ones) and perhaps ok on the sidewalks, but adding
it to a vehicular road seems iffy.
