Intersections where both roads change names

This happens less often than you might think.
Here for example, all four directions have a different road name, though the NY 286 designation stays throughout on the east-west route.

Another fun fact is that Browncroft Blvd changes name back to Atlantic Ave again several miles west in the city of Rochester.

I'm assuming you mean four-way intersections, because I can think of a few three-way intersections where each leg has a different name. I'm also going to assume that changing cardinal directions doesn't count (ie Main St becoming East Main St isn't what you mean).

Is something like this what you're looking for? Daniels Parkway becomes Cypress Lake Drive, while US-41 changes from Tamiami Trail to Cleveland Avenue.

Well, three ways cannot possibly involve two independent name changes, so they can't count. I hadn't considered your second point, but I'll say no, because a lot of streets do that, and the base of the name being the same makes it less interesting.

I should note that it is not required to be a standard intersection. It could be a roundabout, or anything else, providing there are four (or more) legs.

Coming from the south, in this one Swinford St becomes CA-47, Harbor Blvd becomes Front St, though coming from the north Harbor Blvd and Front St have a short concurrency that might disqualify it.

In Orlando we used to have three roads change names at one location.  Hoffner Road, Goldenrod Road, and Narcoosee Road all ended at the same intersection.  I do not think that I have seen all four with completely different names though in Orlando and outside of it.
Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it.

In the center of the Village of Kinderhook, NY:

northbound US 9 is Chatham Street

eastbound from the intersection is Hudson Street
westbound from the intersection is Albany Avenue

At this intersection in Atlanta, Peachtree St becomes Whitehall St while Memorial Dr turns into Forsyth St (and there's a bonus fifth leg, Cooper St, too).

Originally, the Peachtree-to-Whitehall name change occurred farther north at Five Points; back then, it would itself have served as an example, with Marietta St changing to Decatur St at the same intersection (also with a fifth leg, Edgewood Ave).

This one in Plainville, CT.  CT 372 changes from East Main St to New Britain Ave as you pass east, and CT 10 changes from East St to Farmington Ave as you pass north

I feel like this is probably more common than you think.  From my old hometown Lenoir, NC.

Maybe so. There's more legitimate replies, so far, than I expected.

That's an interesting tangent, factoring in route numbers. NY 96 does something similar in Pittsford, with southbound becoming NY 64, and northbound becoming NY 252.

That is... interesting. It appears each direction of the northbound side has a separate name. I'll count it, for uniqueness, if not for strictly meeting the criteria  :D

It definitely counts, but just for interests sake, do the routes also have road names?

No.  I would have included the official names if they had them.  I grew up in Oswego and my elementary school's address was "#### Route 71; Oswego, IL 60543."  They tried giving Route 71 "Daryl Thompson Highway" but I don't know if that's caught on officially.  Businesses along Route 34 are "#### Route 34; Oswego, IL 60543."

Downtown Amherst, MA is close: Main to Amity, N. Pleasant to S. Pleasant.  Actually a lot of "near misses" in Amherst in this regard.

Wendell Center, MA:  Montague Rd to Morse Village Rd.  Wendell Depot Rd to Lockes Village Rd.

Have to be a bunch of these situations in western MA, though, since streets frequently change at town borders and whatnot.

If it changes at a town border, it's (probably) not at an intersection.

How about four different route numbers, each ending at the 4-way intersection?

Preston, Chenango County, NY; a few miles west of Norwich:
  • North: County Route 19
  • South: County Route 4
  • East: County Route 10A
  • West: County Route 10
The key to this seems to be that CR10A (the direct road to Norwich) was ye olde NY 319. When it became a county route, they decided the number should refer to CR10, but not by simply extending CR10  :confused:.

I'm my hometown in NJ there's one.  It's cutting it close because three of the roads contain Erial because this is in the town of Erial.  And south jersey at least sometimes likes to name roads for the towns that they connect.
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.7738919,-75.0067371,17.74z
Erial Road
Erial New Brooklyn Road
Erial Clementon Road
Garwood Road

For extra credit this used to be a five way intersection which then included Erial Williamstown Rd. 

Also the road that's just Erial Rd on Google maps is locally signed as Blenheim Erial NewBrooklyn Road.
An even once it's signed as Blenheim Erial Rd:
