No, currently Nominatim doesn't support suggestions but this feature is on the todo list. As Nominatim is open source you are welcome to help implementing it.

Photon by komoot is a more modern search engine which supports suggestions. Also, Gisgraphy can help to some extent (can suggest street names if you know the exact city name). There was also imposm-geocoder project, but it seems to be dead.
