Just be glad you don't live in Scaggsville, MD. Or is it Scaggville? I couldn't do that.

My very middle class parents lived on Dom Perignon Ct. They've since moved to Cambridge Ct. Maybe they're doing this intentionally.

But I like my friends a lot and know they did not choose this name, so I don't judge them negatively in any way.

Not a deal breaker!


You kidding me right? Why would anyone judge people negatively based on the name of the street they live on? Glad that you like your friends enough to overcome your reservation. Nevertheless, seems so silly. And OP... yes, I would consider you a very silly person IRL if this was asked.

There's a Balls Crossing neighborhood in Arlington, I think...I always laugh about it.

I have a friend who lived on "Lick Skillet Road" when she was a kid. That one always cracked me up.

DH is Canadian and grew up in a house with the house number 666. His family is not religious so it didn't bother them.

How about houses on Del Diablo Way or Satanas Street?
No way.

What about 666 for the house number?

I'm incredibly immature and probably couldn't live on Hummer, Morningwood or anything similarly suggestive. That said, I could probably do worse than having something to giggle about every time I turned down my street. That might be awesome on a bad-mood day.

An ex of mine bought a place in Compton Village, which always cracked me up that a random subdivision full of white yuppies and tech geeks was named after an area notorious for black-on-black crime.
