Street names?

[Liberty Belle]

Have you ever not looked at a house for purchase because the street name it was on was awful? We've been looking at houses lately and while I wouldn't not buy a great house just because of the street name, some of the names make me cringe.

One that comes to mind is Cindy Blair Way. Every time I see it I think of a combination of Linda Blair (and spinning heads, green vomit) and the Blair Witch Project. Oh, another we looked at was on Slashes (Rd? Lane?). Yikes.

I haven't not wanted to buy because of street names, but we did look at a house in a town called Climax. I loved the house but really didn't want that as my address.
I used to live on Delicious Rd in a place where all the streets were named for apples.

My DB lives around the corner from Nimrod Road. Pretty sure I wouldn't want to live there

My sister used to live on a street called Voorhies - always reminded me of Jason from the horror movies.

There is a Poor House Road in a town near me.. I giggle everytime I see it.. also a street called "forget me not" because its so small.

A friend of mine grew up on Crystal Lake, it always made me think of Friday the 13th.

When I lived in Lexington, I lived on Della Drive. I was a little too young to get the reference, but my parents' friends all thought it should be Della Street after the character on Perry Mason.

There's a Harmes Way in Lexington. I certainly wouldn't want to live in Harmes Way!

In a town nearby, there is French Hussey Road. Apparently the sign gets stolen a lot

Where I grew up, there was Pest House Road, Pine Stump Road, and Land Auction Bureau Road. I always thought those were odd.

Not really anything to do with funny names... but I grew up on a street with an uncommon street name.
Used to drive me nuts that no one could spell it right (couple it with my last name and I practically never got mail that was CORRECT)


DH and I just bought a house on like... 45th street.
We currently live on 48th Street.


Sooo much easier now, I don't know if I could ever go back to something difficult to understand!

I used to work in a city that had a one way street named Love St. So, in case anyone asks - Love IS a one way street.

When I was little, I always wanted to be on the committee that named roads, neighborhoods, schools, etc. I'd have the BEST names.

There's a Harmes Way in Lexington. I certainly wouldn't want to live in Harmes Way!

Really? I've never heard of that. That's hilarious!

We have lots of funny road names here in the country...
We have a Hog Lot Road (although Ive never seen any hogs) and Rong Road (without the W in Rong). My In laws live WAY out in the country on
Poor Valley Rd....lives up to its name.

driving to a Dog Show in Lehigh PA I saw a street named Duh Lane

We've come across a Bah Rd. or Bah Lane while on our Geocaching travels. And it's not even named on the maps at this point.

I love the homes, the neighborhood, but can't buy the house on hyman street...

DS was invited to a party once on Rick James Way. What made it even funnier was the family that was holding the party was a very strict and conservative christian family. I asked DS if they even knew who Rick James WAS!!!!!

In the town where we used to live there was a street called Chickenfoot Road.

There weren't any houses on it.
