Street Names - Brainstorming Thread

Glenmore Ave.
Westshire Way
Edmonson Ave.
Motes Way
River Rd.
Rolling Rd.

 

Would love to have some animal named streets. Particularly anything avian but that's just me.
Examples - Falcon Terrace, Raven Way, Hawk Heights, Crow Circle, Jackdaw Avenue, Owl Path.

 

Streetnames with person's names and events in them, like:
Margaret's demise
Margaret's birth
Margaret's camp

If that's too personal, you could go for:
Wizard's demise
Hero's birth
Knight's camp

 

I haven't seen this one which is near and dear to my 17+ year old character from the original Britannia:

Scribe Circle

To me it would be a good residential street name.

 

Celtic court
Lark lane
Inverness way
Loch lane
Raven road

 

These names could end with any number of things; lane, street, alley, boulevard - and maybe some German names like Strasse, Gasse)

In memory of the Ultima Online dungeons of old Britannia:

Blighted Grove
Covetous
Deceit
Despise
Destard
Hythloth
Shame
Wind
Wrong

Others (from past Ultima series or random thoughts):
Wisp Grove
Stygian Abyss
Ring of Fire
Feudal Lord Lane
Unknown Soldier
Perinian Depths
Glyph

From Ultima 4:
Seven Dungeons (lane, etc)
Names of all the 8 stones:
Yellow Compassion
Blue Honesty
Red Valor
Green Justice
Orange Sacrifice
Purple Honor
White Spirituality
Black Humility

Ultima 3:
Morinia Mines
Moon
Dawn
Fawn
Dardin's Pit
Ambrosia
Sosaria

And so on =)

 

Historically major roads were named for locations they were going to/from. Greenfield, Fond du Lac, Mequon, etc. (examples from here in Wisconsin).

Since Avatars play a crucial role in the history of Britannia, it seems that every town, and city should have an Avatar named avenue or lane "Avatar Way" has a nice ambiguous meaning and sound to it I think.

Other historical places and names based on Ultima Lore

Lyceum Lane
Abbey Avenue

There might also be some minor roads that were named for major events in the history, victories over evil, or various pivotal historic points or people.

Stranger's Passing
Mondain's End


Of course, if a Guido Lane shows up...I'd be OK with that too

 

Some real-world street names would work, like Baker Street or Sunset Boulevard. Names that are fine all by themselves but have definite associations. So, other names in that line could be Downing Street, Wall Street, Pennsylvania Avenue. There must be others but my brain doesn't seem very nimble right now.

Other possibilities, basically random thoughts: Bagshot Row, Street of Cunning Artificers, Chandler Avenue.

And if there's a Market Street somewhere it must intersect with Castro Street, because that would be fabulous.

 

Streets named after some of the more memorable characters and events in Blade of the Avatar, and later sequels.

Can change st, ave etc to whatever...

 

Every street leads somewhere and its name should have practical use. Every town has similary street names, like Baker Street, Miller ...
The few Roads that lead to no specific location would have VIP Names, Animal Names and so on.

The street name changes between two cities in the middle.
From City A -> City B = City B Street
From City B -> City A = City A Street

A long Road leading to the capital would have a name like "Kings Road" maybe there is an "Old Kings Road".

Some ways denote the villagers as "The old logging trail" or "Miners Path"

I do not think any street in the city needs a name. I would prefer if guards could describe the way to the nearest pub.

How about memorable characters and events from the Ultima series
Would be nice to have that 'wink' or ' nod' to the fans.

Iolo ( or Eyolo )
Mariah st
Geoffrey st
Katrina st
Julia st
Jaana st
Dupre st ( or Duprae st )
Shamino ( or Shimano st )
Gwenno st
Beh Lem st
Petra st ( the automaton from Ultima 7 serpent Isle )
Selina st
Batlin ( or Bat Lane - a play on words ) Ultima 7 black gate
Mondain
Minax
Exodus
Rudyum
Patterson
Nastassia
Beatrix
Sutek
Nystul
Chuckles
Hawkwind
Draxinsom
Penumbra
Samhayne
Estram
Horance
Nicodemus

...and probably dozens of other characters I can't think of at the moment. If there is an issue with EA owning the rights to them, you could always twist them a bit in the way Shamino became 'Shimano river' or Batlin becomes 'Bat Lane'.

 

I have a couple of thoughts on this. The first one is that this should be added to the backer's benefits (as was suggested earlier), to select a street name after the character they play (or plan to play on release).

So my contribution is:
Cathan's Way
Cather's Way

The second way to do this (which might be more beneficial to the game) is to make this an add-on in the store. That way it would benefit the game overall.
