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.

I have just looked at the map... someone has gone "all streets in this chunk shall be called [foo]" - there's cherry and bramley and sycamore and maple and and... shows a severe lack of imagination on the part of the planners.

My mother lives in Silverstone village. For some reasons, racing drivers are the theme on her little estate.

She lives on a slope.

They named it Graham Hill.
