Do the street names in your neighborhood have a theme?

[Gary M]

I forgot about the neighborhood I grew up in. It was called Sherwood Forest and all the streets followed that theme. I can't remember any of the street names, but they all had to do with Robin Hood.

The neighborhood we live in is Robin Wood Estates. The theme is Robin Wood(England). Street names are Friar, Coventry, King Arthur, Kensington, etc.

Mine is skiing resorts, I think. I hate skiing anyway. Our old apts. were indian tribes. I think our old development in Texas was British inspired theme names.

My neighborhood doesn't have a theme as far as I know. The street names seem pretty random to me.

But when I was younger, our first house was on Ichabod Circle, which intersected Horseman Drive... I think there may have been another Sleepy Hollow related street, too, but I don't remember it.

Then we lived in a neighborhood that had once been an apple orchard, so the streets were all named after apples... Gala, Rome, Jonathan, McIntosh etc.

There's one neighborhood in my town now that I think is kind of funny. The streets are themed around the American Revolution, so there's Revolution, Independence, Freedom, etc., which all sound fine, but then there's Teapot Drive, which doesn't sound quite as impressive.

I used to live in Canterbury Estates - on Prologue Road. Other roads were Prioress Dr., Knight Dr., and Beckett Lane. Oh and Goeffrey St.

This is how Boston streets are set up:

There's no school on School Street, no court on Court Street, no dock on Dock Square, no water on Water Street.

Back Bay streets are in alphabetical order: Arlington, Berkeley,
Clarendon, Dartmouth. So are South Boston streets: A, B, C, D.

If the streets are named after trees (Walnut, Chestnut, Cedar), you're on Beacon Hill. If they're named after poets, you're in Wellesley.

All avenues are properly referenced by their nicknames: Comm Ave, Mass Ave, Dot Ave.

Dot is Dorchester, Rozzie is Roslindale, JP is Jamaica Plain. Readville doesn't exist.

The North-East-South-West thing: Southie is South Boston. The South End is the South End. Eastie is East Boston. The North End is east of the West End. The West End and Scollay
Square are no more
