Maybe I am missing something here, but to my mind road and place naming
is pretty clear cut. See:-
"Guidelines for the determination of place names" a fact sheet by the
Geographic Names Board of NSW
http://www.gnb.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0010/58843/Guidelines_determination_placenames_2017.pdf
and
"6.7 Principles of Road naming" page 97 of the NSW Addressing User Manual
http://www.gnb.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0007/199411/2018_NSW_Addressing_User_Manual.pdf
Although these relate to NSW, I imagine there are similar arrangements
in all states and territories.
If OSM uses anything different it will only cause difficulties. I guess
that, as with all standards, there will be exceptions.
But OSM should then go with whatever the legal name is.

I expand these out to Saint. I think that is correct in the English

It is expressly _incorrect_ in British English and if this were a UK
discussion you would be asked to put them back to St. I can't speak for
Australian English but it wouldn't surprise me if it were the same.
