The street we live on is Robinson Drive.
My last name is Robinson.
More often than not, anyone asking my name and address doesn't believe me, and two different distributors refuse to ship to my house, thinking it's phony.

In a former neighborhood of mine, we had a Morningwood Lane. If I'd seen that before I had bought my house, I would have waited for a home to go up for sale on that street. Heh, heh, heh...

One of my close friends has the last name Russell and lives on a street called Russell.
He grew to hate giving out his address, but realized since his house is on a corner, tried (and succeeded) in getting the mail sent to his house listing it with a different address.
It was pretty slick.

I was somewhere out in the country once - forget what state - and there was a quiet country lane by the name of "Oral Bessie."

The only thing worse than living on Schutz Creek Road,
is telling a delivery driver to take the right to
Upper Schutz Creek Lane.

The street we live on is Robinson Drive. My last name is Robinson. More often than not, anyone asking my name and address doesn't believe me That's odd. In many rural parts of the country the streets are named after the original property owners who still live there. That would have been my assumption in your case. I'm surprised people are skeptical.

I have a cousin, big union Democrat, used to live on Easy St. (I swear, it's true - I used to send him a Christmas card every year). I never did get a chance to tease him about that, unfortunately.

***Didn't he think of this before he moved in?***
Of course he did. But being a liberal (likely) where the world revolves around him he 'logically' thought he could get the street renamed.
He's just like those who move next to, or close to an outdoor shooting range that's been in existence for generations and then demand it be closed (Hey Martha them Nazi Rednecks are shooting over there, we must stop that PDQ). Or those that move near or along a golf course and complain about golf balls on their lawn.

How about "Mike Hunt Road".
Seriously, in NE PA there are some small mining towns named Sugar Notch and Honeypot.

Exactly right, which is why I'm surprised by some of the responses.
