Is naming roads with no names vandalism?

I’d say yes. See the response to https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/62884/inventing-names-for-essentially-unnamed-private-airstrips

Yes, if road has no name then adding name tag is wrong.
Though without details it is hard to say more - for example road may have no official name, and have locally used name.
Adding it as name tag is perfectly fine.

One more note: I would keep “vandalism” for intentionally malicious edits. People make mistakes, and I would not use “vandalism” term if there is a chance that edit was well intended.
