My experience is with MapInfo data. There, every street segment can be
treated as a record in database (whatever kind of database; That depands
on the design of data records.). Usually, every street segment contains
street name. It may contain additional information, like for instance
street numbers (possibly on both sides), postal code (which can be
different also on both sides). Also, street names, in principle, could
be in various languages. Etc. So, it should be quite ok to assign
different names to different street segments.
Just a digression. I do not know openstreet.
