Not if I really like the house. But I have had this thought a couple of time when I was house-hunting.

I mean, I wouldn’t be thrilled to live on Boner Ave. or Pedophile Lane, but generally not a problem.

No, it wouldn’t stop me. I did used to live on one of those double name roads (like Sarah Lynn Way) and now I live on a street with a much more traditional name (think Oak St.) and I like my address much more. I also think the streets with the traditional names tend to be in older neighborhoods that are more walkable and closer-in. The double names are from circa 1980s/90s construction. Then you get really far out and have the neighborhoods with the pretentious names like Chancellor’s Grove or Devonshire Mews. I don’t think I could do a neighborhood like that.

My grandparents lived on Long Island for a while in the 30s and they were on Josef Goebbels Boulevard

Reminds me of the Gilmore Girls episode where their street was renamed Sores and Boils Alley. I’d probably balk at that.

It would have to be an outlier but there can be extreme enough of an outlier to dissuade me!

Yes. I refused to live on Plantation Parkway in Fairfax back when we were looking for houses in 2008.

My husband refused to look at a house on Tinker Bell Terrace. This was a buyers market, and we had at least a dozen homes to look at that day.

I assume you’re using a fake stand-in name here? “Tammy Jo Lane” would be a no from me. But I could live with Mary Jane or Suzie Q Lane.

No. But I understand. My last house was a nice round number and cute name, like "100 Maple Drive" and now I have a 5 digit number and a long word I need to spell slowly and repeat.

Found a house we like...but ugh, the thought of writing out "Tammy Jo Lane" whenever I need to say my address makes me dry heave.
