If the owner calls in a fire at his house, he's going to use his own wrong
name
for the road.  So you'd probably be best to have it as a loc_name, then
there's
a chance of somebody other than you finding it.

OTOH, if you want to make sure mappers know it's not the name of the road
no matter
what that guy says, then not:name=*.

Having it as both a loc_name and a not:name feels wrong, but a loc_name
with a note
saying only one guy on the entire planet calls it that would work.
