AC/DC street in Leganés (Spain)
Chicago's Hegewisch neighborhood (far southeast side) has Avenue K through Avenue O. In nearby Griffith, IN, there are also Avenues A - E, and then it jumps to Avenue H. No connection as far as I know since the Hegewisch streets run North-South and in Griffith they run East-West
We have a Winchester and Remington in the South Bay, but we always though of it as name after the Mystery House and the Hair Dryer.

I thought about another one Frying Pan Road in Hunter Mill Virginia lol. Too bad the OP is gone now so he can’t see our responses.
I remember the Austrian Fxxks (it means people from what I read) were very upset that they spend most of their money trying to replace stolen street signs. So yeah, just changed the name, it is a battle not worth fighting for.
In the suburbs west of here they have a Hickory Ave., a Dickory Ave., and a Dock. Also a Mouse Lane, which is hard to find, but there.
In Chalmette, east and south of Noo Awlins proper, there's a group of streets named for fur-bearing creatures: Cougar, Puma, Seal, Beaver, Mink, Nutria, Coney, Llama, Chinchilla, Jaguar, Ocelot, and Bear. Also Genet, Fawn, and Fox.
There are also legends of a goat-like creature called the Grunch, which gave its name to Grunch Road. Nobody now seems to know where that is or was; stories vary. I first heard of it way back in junior high. It's prevalent enough that a local musician has taken it as his professional name: "Benny Grunch and the Bunch." A sample of their musical stylings:

We have streets Ford, Packard, Buick, and (of all things) Stutz. And near the old Lakefront Airport, Boeing, Piper, Cessna, Flite, Airway, and Skyview.
Been close to fifty years but I remember watching a local newscast in a Jacksonville motel room. Subdivision residents were ticked at a developer who named his streets after the seven dwarves. Dopey Drive, Sneezy Street, Bashful Court, etc. Guess I could check Google maps and see if they were successful for petitioning the change. Of course you should have known better before buying the property.
