I don't think there is an easy way to do that.  Google do not make
their road network data available to you.  It is theoretically
possible to cast around using the Directions service as a sort of
"snap-to" to return points located on roads.  You can cast around some
more to try to get a Directions polyline of the road or segment of
road in question.  Once you've got polylines, finding intersections is
trivial. But getting that far will be slow and tedious, and eat into
daily allowances.

If you really just want the name(s), you can simplify that to just use
Directions on points along your line at intervals, and get the road
name.  This will be error prone, as it will find nearby roads that may
not intersect your line.
