Tennis player Li Na.
First plus last - I could beat you with Che. 
It’s going to be tough to beat Li Na. Might be some other Asian names with a single letter - I’m sure there’s an “I O” out there somewhere, but it needs to be someone at least moderately famous to qualify, cuz I say so.
In Bangalore, India, MG Road (Mahatma Gandhi) goes straight into Kasturba Road.
Kasturba was Gandhi’s wife.
Interesting trivia: The town of Boring, Oregon recently twinned with the tiny hamlet of Dull, Scotland and declared August 9, 2013 to be “Dull & Boring Day”. Both towns are currently in negotiations with Bland, Australia to join them in next year’s festivities.
I swear, you can’t make this stuff up.
Nor the late, great surfing champ Duke Kahanamoku. Hawaiian names are marvelous.
You missed my post #68.
If this thread is morphing into exotic peoples’ names (is it?), we had a brief thread a while back about a family of the surname Everybodytalksabout.
I haven’t read this whole thread so I don’t know if this has been posted yet but I read in a book (“The Mother Tongue” by Bill Bryson) several years ago that there once was a street in England (I forget which town/city) called “Grapcunt Lane” (it was in a seedy part of town and I think the name is something else, now). That name’s nothing if not honesty about the goings-on in its area!
I guess. I figured Burmese names would come up in this context, but U is not a name, precisely, any more than Gandhi’s name was Mahatma.
There’s a subdivision in San Antonio Texas that has street names of an odd collection of classic-era Hollywood folks, must have been the favorites of the developer. George Burns, Danny Kaye, Cary Grant, Gary Cooper, Errol Flynn, and also characters: Charlie Chan (!), and my personal favorite Gomer Pyle.
True, but it’s pretty much the only names they have. Burmese don’t really have surnames. Unlike Cher, which is not her birth name, their actual names are just Nu and Ba.
Favorite TV blooper: station announcer saying: "See Gomer’s Piles…" 
U is some kind of title or honorific, isn’t it?

Okay, I looked up U Thant, third Secretary-General of the United Nations. Wiki sez:
In SF, somewhere around the Castro, there is a little side alley named Continuum. At the end of it is a sign that says, End Continuum.
It was the location of a battle during the Indian Mutiny/Sepoy Rebellion/Whatever they’re calling it now, in case you were wondering.
In Enfield Lock, UK the site of the former Royal Small Arms Factory Enfield has been redeveloped into a housing estate. Some of the roads you’ll find there include Thorneycroft Drive, Metford Crescent, Sten Close, Martini Drive and Brunswick Road - all named after British guns, most of them manufactured at RSAF Enfield.
I’d been wondering how they pronounce Gough for years, now I know!
“Broom” and “rape(seed)” are both field plants. From the former people once made brooms for sweeping, and rapeseed = canola, apparently.
Whittier, California has a Lashburn Drive.
I don’t personally find it exotic as such, but until I saw this thread I had no idea how to pronounce it. Go, Gooh, Guff, and Gowe were among the possibilities I imagined, but I never thought of Gawf or Goff.
As a personal or place name in the U.K. is there just one way it’s pronounced?
Goff, as in Darren Gough, Roger McGough. Those are th eonly ones I can think of.
A street name from the UK: Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma Gate in York.
Also Gough Whitlam.
