When tagging separate sidewalks that's what I've tended to do, too. 
However, it's perhaps worth mentioning that it's pretty easy for 
renderers to strip out or not render names if some other tag is set 
(such as footway=sidewalk).  See for example 
https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/SomeoneElse-style/blob/master/style.lua#L699 
.
