Naming streets is a challenge. Layers of government approval to keep from using a name which is the same as elsewhere in the county, or confusing to EMS. To get ahead of the curve, I would create long lists of names to get approved in advance. When naming streets I selected a theme or names from my favorite areas to travel. One year I focused on names from historic Texas cattle ranches. The 911 folks didn’t care for most. Another year I focused on historic Las Vegas casino names and people. I even have a couple out there with my name. Driving The Villages, or any planned community, I look for the patterns in the names.
