This might be a good use of RoadMatcher.

-Use RoadMatcher to match existing roads in osm with the canvec.osm tiles 
with the names to produce a mapping of exisitng osm_id values to the id 
values in the canvec.osm file

-Write a script that takes each unamed road and grabs the way from the API 
adds the matched name from canvec.osm and uploads the new version of the 
way.
