Your Street Name and Your Own Name: Do They Match? / myLot

August 28, 2016 10:51pm CST

Is you street name, the same as your first or last name? For example: Is your first name 'Paul' and you live on 'Paul'? Or, is your last name 'Shelby' and you live on 'Shelby'? If so, are there any cool plusses to this coincidence? If so... can you please, explain? Do you like the fact, that they match? Also -- How did it come about, that you found your place on the street that is called, the same name as your own?

I think that's really cool! Do you have the same name as the street, or know someone who has? I'd be happy if I have found the street name same as mine. I don't think I'll find that in where I stay, as the street names here are mosyty in Malay language, where my name is in Chinese.

When we were first married, we lived in a road that corresponded with our surname. It was good for a laugh, but it did confuse people sometimes!

I have across very few who add place name to their names - especially those who are famous - siva

@MarleneAM I meant to say place names are added to names of some who become famous to make it known to others where they originate from - siva

No, it does not match. If ever there is one, I would be glad and say that "it is my street!"

Year 1988 when we got to live in a small subdivision with the same name as mine. I always laugh when somebody ask me where we live because I tell them that it is my own subdivision because it bears my name.
