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.
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.
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.
