Strood has a Quixote Crescent off Windmill Rd. Know locally a Kwicks Ote Crescent. I've worked for half a dozen people in those roads, none knew the connections.
We also have a newish estate with roads like Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword. I've worked for about 10 residents, only 1 knew the connection.
Look at the roads round Quex Road in NW6. Lots of East Kent (Thanet) names. Apparently the landowner owned lots of land in East Kent and named the roads after things he owned (whole villages etc.)
Some time ago I was the sysadmin of a VAXcluster. I had named the machines Saturn (the big 8800) and the others (8200s and a 3100) after moons (Titan, Janus, Phoebe...)
The 'management' decided to replace all of them with a single, fairly crappy machine. They 'sold' it to users as a bright, shiny, 'new' machine although it was low powered and rubbish in comparison (third party SCSI drives in crappy cabinets with low quality cables, for a start).
The last thing I did (before I gave up that role to admin a college full of students instead) was to name the new machine. I called it Sirius, which sounded plausible and was accepted by TPTB.
It took three years before the director realised I'd called it a dog.
