Someone (a non-OSMer) actually asked me the other day: so you don't know the name of the road do you leave it blank or make up a name? Would it be good for people to tag note=name_unknown when you have actually visited and seen no sign (perhaps the road doesn't have an offical name, not all roads have houses on them). Because although it's still good for someone to double check these, it's less important than the roads just traced by aerial photography.
