Confusing street names

[bellinghman]

I've just looked at the map of Carpenterstown in Dublin.

Apparently the locals get a little confused as to which street is which. I don't know why - it's not as though anyone would have difficulty remembering the difference between Riverwood Road, Riverwood Court, Riverwood Copse, Riverwood Dene, Riverwood Chase, Riverwood Glebe, Riverwood Glen, Riverwood Drive, Riverwood Grove, Riverwood Park, Riverwood Gardens, Riverwood View, Riverwood Lawn, Riverwood Way, Riverwood Heath, Riverwood Crescent, Riverwood Place, Riverwood Dale and Riverwood Vale, and Riverwood Green.

Now, if one of those had been Riverworld instead, I could have understood.

Is Cambridge much better? I mean, in Cherry Hinton you can get lost looking for "that exotic animal" amongst Gazelle Wy, Caribou Wy, Dolphin Cl, Eland Wy, Imapala Dr, Mandrill Cl, The Lynx, Lemur Dr, Fennec Close, Tamarin Gdns, Panther Wy, Buffalo Wy, Loris Ct ...

At least they're all different exotic animals as well as different street types. They're not even all primates or anything. I've nothing against themed streets - having lived on one of the Romsey 'colony roads' for some years, it was useful to be able to remember the order of the streets as being the placement of the original places on a spiral around the globe.

But trying to find someone when you're not entirely sure whether they live on Longfoobarname Vale or Longfoobarname Dale?

As has already been intimated, it's all part of a Celtic plot to confuse the Saxons, and as your LJname indicates, you're an obvious member of that plot.
