Strangest street names?

In Allen, TX - Bossy Boots Dr.
In Fort Worth, TX - Felix Gwozdz Pl (in the hospital district, named for the city's first medical examiner)
 
The town I used to live in in NC had an A Street, B Street, and C Street.
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
 
They also have "Lower Wacker" in Chi town.

Doesn't San Jose have Floppy drive?

In Toronto Mike Myers has his own street named after him.

In Doylestown PA, there is a "Burnt house Hill road". Guess they couldn't think of any other name that day.
The old StorageTek campus in Louisville, Colorado had Tape Drive, Disc Drive and Quality First Ave
 
They also have "Lower Wacker" in Chi town.

There's also a Lower-Lower Wacker.

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.
 
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.
They wouldn't be able to steal something like this...
