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.

The street names seem to be based on the name of the Village which sets a "theme". For instance, Belvedere Village has an English twist with streets named Churchill, Leicester Terrace, Brighton, etc.
I'm guessing that the Developer decided that "Lane, Trail, Loop, Terrace, etc.", are classier and more interesting than "Street".
I also used to live in a town (in Canada) which had a development where streets were named after Kentucky Derby winners. Perhaps there is a similar development in every town in North America.
