I lived on Governor Thomas Bladen Way in Annapolis and the MVA couldn’t figure out how to get it on my drivers license. I hated it. Even names that are hard to pronounce or spell I would have questioned whether I wanted to deal with it long term. Now would I not move into a house I loved and could buy, probably not, but given two comparable houses, a street name could be the deal breaker.

Nah, buy the house. Our now address has annoyed me since the day we first saw the house listing online, but I wouldn’t trade our house for it. We love the house and neighborhood and just roll our eyes occasionally at the address.

Over what exactly? Are you a British Lord?

The cock part. It’s considered very vulgar.

If you think “cock” instead of John Hancock or Herbie Hancock, etc., then it’s because you are immature and vulgar; it has nothing to do with the name.

They aren’t western. You’d never have a street address like this where I am from.

I think it’s perfectly fine to not what a person’s genitals in your address pp. It’s her choice.

In Victorian England it was a thing to change your name if it had the affix "cock." Fortunately we don't live in Victorian England.

("Cock" comes from the 13th century English word for a young man, which was added to a name to denote the son of. Hancock is shortened from Johan-cock, Old English for Johnson.)
