Subject: RE: What's in a Name??
Here in a western semi-arid prairie city of about 1 million, they have just about used up all the green-sounding English, Irish, and Scottish names for streets and subdivisions. Coyote Heights, Dry Grass Acres, Sandy Bottoms and Disappointment Gardens would be more suitable. Subdivisions are being built around small artificial ponds they call Lakes and named for British Isles lakes and bays. Enuf to make a ole Injun cry.
