Smile Street Names

I'm just curious if there is any rhyme or reason for street names? And, what distinction is there, if any, between a Lane, Trail, Loop, Way, Court, Place, ...? I noticed there are not too many 'Streets'.

I just have this picture of some poor soul sitting in a windowless room day after day coming up with street names. In the Villages I could see it being a full time job!

I once lived in a town in Illinois where, in my development, all the streets were named after Kentucky Derby winners.
