There is a tendency hereto name schools, rather than streets:
Elaine Wynn Elementary School
Barbara and Hank Greenspun Middle School
and also to go heavily toward local, living politicians, which can have interesting implications if they are indicted down the road.
Sometimes the spelling is off:
"Located near Ann and Fort Apache roads, it's spelled Bugsy Segal Circle."
There is an RJ article on point re other streets:
"Streets in a subdivision in Henderson are named for fictional characters from the Lord of the Rings books written by J.R.R. Tolkien. The names include Shadowfax Road, Longshanks Way and Strider Drive.
A subdivision near Silverado High School in the south valley has streets named after 20 Los Angeles Dodgers, including Roy Campanella, Delino DeShields, Gil Hodges, Hideo Nomo, and Jose Offerman.
My personal favorite is the subdivision near Lamb and Russell Road where streets are named for Star Wars characters, including Skywalker Avenue, Leia Street and Vader Avenue."
