It's pretty common for highway exit signs in rural areas to include the names of two towns, often one if you exit right and another if you exit left. Occasionally, those two town names will accidentally create a first-and-last-name combination that would be a possible name for a real person

Here are a few I've come across in recent travels:

On Interstate 65 in Alabama:

Grace Garland*
Georgiana Starlington**
Hope Hull
Jemison Thorsby

On Interstate 10 in Florida:

Madison Perry


* Grace Garland is a real actress/singer's name. Whether she was named for the exit sign, I have no idea.

** Georgiana Starlington is the name of a band and also the name of a lovely waltz by Alabama fiddler Tom Morley. I'm 100% certain both owe their names to the exit sign.


Please add any you've come across.
