How is the tunnel tagged? If it's a highway that happens to be going
through a tunnel (e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/361906432) I
would expect that `name` is the name of the *road*, hence if the tunnel
also has a name, it would need to be tagged in some other manner (e.g.
tunnel:name).
Note that my example *does* have the street name in `name`.
If the tunnel is somehow tagged separately from the highway, then I
could see that using `name` as the name of the tunnel. Of course, if the
*road itself* is known by the same name as the tunnel, then it would
also make sense to use `name`.
