Who came up with Street Names?
343244
"Back in the day", street names were often just given based on where the road went.  If the road went to London, it was called London Road.  If the road was the main street in the town, it was called Main Street.\n\nNowadays, property developers normally include street name proposals in the plans they put forward to the local councils for approval and planning permission

Since there is so many streets it is easier to numbered then to think of actual names.

Londonium (spelling?) was the first name for London. Many of the oldest cities in southern europe have a roman origin.\nIf you have a favorite city name, just add a little Old Latin flare to it.  Like Project-ium or Project-opoli

Other options were tried but Names worked best.\nThey were called by the city they hit and the date.\nThat got confusing where the same city would be hit multiple times and perhaps in the same season.\n\nThey used to be storm numbers and letters ... storm A, B, C, They retired them when a big storm hit.\nAfter a while they started running out of combinations So memorable mens names were used.\nThen to accomodate the non male community... Man and female names were alternated.

You know, that's a good question.  I don't think anyone's named it yet. So, since you were the first to notice it, you get to name it.  I'm thinking maybe toof (or teef-plural), dap, fwrist, scrid, falp, talange, topografeet, footop, etc.  If you decide to name it, let us know what you think of.

The simple answer is because they are roads. Sometimes another name may seem more appropriate, but "road" was the name long before.
