> I'm not as familiar with them, but I believe you have these in English speaking countries too Yes, exactly. E.g. there are definitely similarities in the names of streets built on new estates. 'Acacia Avenue' is a joke generic street name in England. Estates built on old WW2 airfields (there are quite a few of these) often have streets that are named after aircraft. We also have a phenomenon where old established pubs - with historically / locally relevant names - are now being rebranded by the chains that own them. So the Roeshot (named for the hill it is built on) is now the Toby Carvery. [Edit] The other big effect in England is that older town names reflect the language of different waves of settlers / invaders [0]. Town names that end in 'ing', 'ford', 'ham' are usually Old English, 'thorp', 'thwaite', 'toft' etc are usually Scandinavian, etc. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toponymy_of_England https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toponymy_of_England
