Would you live at Mount Misery?

There are some kooky street naming philosophies around here. Try spelling these beauties over the phone - Whippporwill Lane and Okeechobee Road. When looking at houses I rejected a house on Seabuoy Court because I couldn't bring myself to say 'sea-boo-ey' instead of the Australian way of 'sea-boy'. Most 'suburb' street names have a theme for example US presidents, birds, flowers, trees, English and Scottish towns. Here are some of the more interesting ones:

• Beatles related words including Lennon Drive, Ringo Drive and Abbey Lane


• Geographical names like Lullwater Street


• Country themes for example The Netherlands has inspired a set of streets like Windmill Way, Antilles Ct, Old Dairy Rd, Netherlands Drive, Rembrandt Ct and Vandyke Drive


• Literary themes for example Wolfe Lane, Fitzgerald Road, Byron Drive, and Dickens Drive


• US Civil war including Robert E Lee Drive, Beauregard Drive and Merrimac Drive


• Native Indian terms including the following trails Cherokee, Mohawk, Seminole, Mohican, Navaho and Crosswinds
