Just saw these wacky road names in a news article and thought I'd share. Ok, so it's a bit off-topic, but it DOES still have to do with names, so I thought you guys might like this (I thought it was pretty funny myself). ;)

Those are funny!

I was so desperate to find a name for my 4th son a few years ago that I was even reading street signs as I drove around, hoping I'd see a name that would be great for a little boy! Don't think I'd consider any of those!!

We have lots of "theme" neighborhoods around here too. Offhand, I know there's an all-university area (Harvard Lane, Yale Drive, etc.) and a Shakespeare themed neighborhood, not to mention the "Robin Hood" section (every road is named Little John Lane, Merry Men Court, etc. ... I like that one LOL). We also have some cutesie memorable ones ... Peppermint Lane, Applebutter Road, etc. (there are a ton but I can't think of them offhand). Nothing that compairs to Psycho Path, of course! ;)
