I love the house but don't love the street name

Thank God you don't live in Norfolk, VA.

Over what exactly? Are you a British Lord?

The cock part. It’s considered very vulgar.

Just get a pair of male chicken statues and pretend you live in a farm area.

how about MorningWood lane in Olney? We almost bought a house on that street.

I'm in the LA area so when I hear Hancock I think of Hancock Park, which is a beatiful neighborhood

My uncle had the name of his street changed. In his case, it was because it was often confused with another street on the other side of town (like, East Road and East Street); however; I don't see any reason that the street names couldn't be changed if you get buy-in from the neighbors.

I live on a street that is hard to say, especially for those for whom English is not their first language. But even for native English speakers, people trip over it all the time. I'd rather live on Hancock street. I also like the idea of the Hancook intentional misspelling...or maybe Hancok

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.

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

I don't know if you are aware, but the term for a man's genitals is: penis. Not "cock."

How about these real life examples?

Morning Wood Drive
Temporary Road
Backlick Road
Gallows Road
Popes Head Road

Then there are the awful themed-named streets: Barristers/Statute/Counsellor/Sheriff/Decree

Butter Churn/Conestoga/Wagon Wheel

Symphony/Cymbal/Concerto

I grew up on Dirt Road.

We had a cottage on Starvation Lake

Assimilate or go back to the shithole you came from where people’s cocks and ducks stick out if their ragged pants

What are you going to do if she doesn’t?

I'm assuming this street is named after one of our founding fathers.

If I lived on that street, a neighbor asked for my John Hancock on a petition to change the name, I would politely decline.

Not just out of respect for the person the street is named after, but also because its a HUGE stretch to take offense to the "cock" in the title, and not even remotely worth the trouble of going through all the address updates

OP here. Haha, you guys are the best!

I would never think of this with Hancock. It’s not Handcock, OP.

You really must be one of the densest OPs in years to post here. For the other sheltered one above, yes, Regina rhymes with vagina.

What? No it does not.

the "i" in Regina makes an "ee" sound
The "i" in Vagina makes an "eye" (rhymes with pie or high) sound

For Americans, it’s a huge stretch to go from the very famous name “Hancock” to thinking about penises. Your parents may think the name is silly but no one living in the states will. I’d get the house, personally.

Very curious to know where your parents are from, OP. Would they be aware that this is a well known last name and not a pervy joke thought out by whoever named the street?
