Most roads don't have names.
Any comparison has to be done against an authoritative database or on
ground surveying, for the area in which you're searching.
"where the name can be interpolated from neighbouring ways. This allows
to detect and armchair-fix a (small) subset of these cases with high
confidence. "
I have a "high confidence" interpolation, from an armchair or anywhere,
will lead to inaccurate data being added to the OSM database.

Hi all
As you might know, OSM data contains a lot of highway=* without name=*. Check
your region using the following query:
https://overpass-turbo.eu/?Q=way%0A%20%20%5Bhighway%5D%5B!name%5D%0A%20%20(%7B%7Bbbox%7D%7D)%3B%0Aout%20body%3B%0A%3E%3B%0Aout%20skel%20qt%3B
I wrote a Python tool (using Sarah Hoffmann's pyosmium) at
https://gitlab.com/ltog/ohni that is able to detect such highways in a planet
(extract) file and report the ones, where the name can be interpolated from
neighbouring ways. This allows to detect and armchair-fix a (small) subset of
these cases with high confidence. The tool is tailored to minimize
false-positives.
Please check it out and give feedback.
Best regards
Lukas
