1) Can you elaborate on the source(s) of suspected road names?
2) It would helpful if each of us could look at your list in a more
localised aspect. Either including county would be more helpful, or at
least having latitude and longitude in separate columns makes it
easier to use in other tools usually.
3) There's some obvious reasons why some of those aren't in OSM just
by looking at the first 5.
3a) One was on a caravan park, so it might not have an official name
or even a sign (again I would like to question the source).
3b) A way was about 3 metres to connect one road to another, it's
debatable whether it should be named itself but could be fixed without
a survey.
3c) There are lots of abbreviated names in your spreadsheet, even
"Clos" which I presume is a strange shortening of "Close".
A Maproulette challenge might tempt people to copy the names from your
spreadsheet (the legality and suitability of that is very unknown!).
+1 to all of that. Without knowing the source of these names any
spreadsheet containing "missing names" is going to be very
problematical. If a missing name isn't signed on the ground, then
what? If an unsigned name's "correct" (e.g. it's available from OS
OpenData or another similarly admissible source) I'd typically add it
and then add "name:signed=no" to indicate that it's not useful for
giving directions. In this case we've got a list of names which mostly
probably won't be signed on the road (caravan parks, buildings, etc.)
OS Locator is/was a good source of those missing names, as shown in
"Musical Chairs" here:
https://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?zoom=16&lat=53.19551&lon=-1.38645&layers=B0TT&view_mode=pseudorandom
but as the OS have been playing "musical chairs" with their open data
offerings it may be that there isn't a more recent open OS source (that
example shows some missing new build roads).
Best Regards,
Andy
