This isn’t especially droll, but in the west end of downtown Montreal, 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.

Or alternatively (from “Nighthawks at the Diner”), the corner of Fifth and Vermouth.
And I always liked the expression “She left him at the corner of Cold and Alone.”
