These are not unpleasant names, but I’ve always been fascinated by “sections” named after themes. Most people don’t know in the original NY Levittown there are several sections named after birds, or flowers, or stars. People would say, “I’m from the bird section”.

Presidents are common, and states, but I’ve found authors, occupations, and in Franklin Sq. NY there is a section named after Newspapers.

To: I still care

When I was a little kid I lived in a neighborhood where most of the streets began with “O.” Ozanam, Oliphant, Oriole, Osceola, Oneida, etc.

Forty years later, I ended up living on an “Oriole” in a different town in a different state.
