Subject: RE: What's in a Name??
Here in New Jersey they have a habit of naming the developments after the trees that were removed to build them. And the streets are named after trees that aren't native to North America. My favorite was a development where the streets were named (apparently) after some of the employees, most of whom had Eastern European names. Dzrk Road, for example, or Krgzwalskij St. Someone had a sense of humor, but the residents probably aren't too happy.
