Aye, they can, but the road name still has to be approved by the locals, so if they don't like it, it'll get binned...a lot of streets in maine are names like this because well, there just random numbers at the moment and it's a mare on the emergency services, so people have to give there streets names...
There's a Crotch creak after someones' name, don't know why they'd use it though![Big Grin](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
And a Heineken that meets Coors Lane

A village near where I used to live in the UK has a road called Featherbed Lane. I love that.

We had 2 roads, one called 'First turn' & the other was 'Second turn'. Can you imagine giving someone directions from the other way - "You take your first left, which is 'Second turn', but it's before 'First turn', so if you get to 'First turn', you'll know you've gone too far."
