This isn’t especially droll, but in the [west end of downtown Montreal,](http://maps.google.ca/maps?oe=UTF-8&hl=en&q=&ie=UTF8&om=1&ll=45.491734,-73.583974&spn=0.001408,0.003583&z=19) there’s an intersection of rue Chomedey and boul. De Maisonneuve, both of which are named for Paul Chomedey de Maisonneuve (founder of the city). I believe it was unintentional, as Chomedey was named more than a century ago and De Maisonneuve was so named in 1966 and crosses all of downtown. ---
