[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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 [/quote]

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[/quote]
