What if you love a house but HATE the name of the street?

Omg. I love this one! I love the Awake Estates neighborhood near Sleepy Hollow (Annandale I think). So funny! |

| And also OP, that probably wasn't the actual name of the street, but you do realize that Ash and Lee are real words, right, and therefore using them in a name is not really tacky? Ash = tree, Lee is not only a name of a historical person and major highway in our area, but also refers to the protected area of an object. So being called Ashlee refers to a protected area. |

OP, when we moved here, we came from another small city where the streets did not have numbers for names. I really didn't want to buy a house on a "number" street; that sounded too much like a highrise apartment building to me. I looked probably for an extra week to see if I could find something else I liked better, but I couldn't. It never mattered once we moved in.
If it is the right house, it is the right house. After a week or two the street name won't even register anymore. |

Wait, what's wrong with a street named after a little bird? Is there an alternate meaning for nuthatch? |

| Op's question is important. Remember this will be part of her children's "porn name" for the rest of their lives. |

Nut thatch? What is that, a really stretched attempt at a reference to pubic hair? That's pretty ridiculous. As in, not the first thing ANYONE NORMAL would think of. Not even in the top 10. I never would have gotten there. I thought PP was making a nut-house/ booby-hatch connection. Which would also be completely lame and juvenile and not in the least bit worrisome for someone old enough to buy a house. Now, Hooker Street...

| The only time it would give me pause was if it was something like Mansion Dr. I would hate telling people that one. |

I'm so glad I am not the only one who doesn't like number streets! I told my husband while we were looking that I really did not want to live on a number street. He thought I was crazy. I also hesitated on a house that was on a named street that I really, really didn't like. |

I still maintain that AshLee is tacky. |
