What is the most unusual street or road name you have seen? If you live on a street with an unusual name do people comment on it?

"Chemistry" in Whitchurch (Cheshire) is a favourite of mine!

There's a small pathway in Swansea called Salubrious Passage. I love the name, though the pathway is anything but salubrious!

When I lived in Glasgow, I was on Kuala Lumpur Lane. I received cards from relatives that frequently read Koala Lumpur and, once, Koala Lamper.

I live on one! I'm looking for a job, and I've actually stopped putting my address on my CV as it was causing people to make comments as if it was some kind of joke. Genuine problem.

I’ve passed by Fanny Hands Lane a few times. I assume it’s named after a local character, but a google search for Fanny Hands didn’t go well.

Not residential, but there used to be (maybe still is?) an underpass in Castleford called Tickle Cock Lane.

There's an area near my parents that always makes me chuckle with a Lady Place cottage, Lady Place House etc. I've just looked at a map to check and 'The Bulk Meat Company' is based in No.2 Lady Place Barn Shock I would not be able to work there and ever give out the address over the phone Grin

There's a hamlet called Kemey's Commander (which for some reason I hear in a Russian accent in my head!) and another called Bully hole bottom.
