" Three Parasites Apartments"

@Cisco

The big trend out here is The Something At Something, where both Somethings are completely made up and meaningless.

The Generic Apartment Farm at The Highway Interchange?

@BubbaDog

Kia’s Sportage which pops the word Spoilage immediately into my head.

What about the Nissan Armada? The Spanish Armada LOST! It sank! It is one of the most famous losing enterprises in history!

How about the Chevy Nova / No Va (as in no go?)

Or those that can’t make up their minds. We have a ‘Blue River Ranch Lakes Estates’.

That is possibly the most awkward community name I’ve heard yet, and Calgary is no slouch in the awkward, pretentious community name contest.

I guess they’re all relying on the Community Name Generator.

Ha! That’s an awesome little doo-dad.

That’s hilarious. And sort of amazing. I just generated 15 names, and 12 of them are completely and absolutely usable. The other 3 are only borderline.

The next 15? 11 usable. 3 borderline. And one not so much. I think even the idiots who name these places would realize that naming a housing development “Mount Stonewood” would generate a few too many giggles."

The Toyota Previa is unfortunate to me, ever since my maternal-child nursing class. Something tells me they didn’t Google it.

So I googled it and … eew. There was a YouTube link to something called ‘previa fiesta colegialas’ I was a little afraid to click on it, so of course I did. It appears to be just three scantily clad Spanish speaking girls getting ready for a party.

We have a condo building called NoMa because it is North of Market Street. :rolleyes:

Also one called Danielle.

I want to live in a building called The Bourgeois

How’s this for a really dumb-assed aparment complex name?

Pinhook Flats! The first time I read about them, I thought not of luxury, but of pinworms and hookworms. Then the wife pointed out that there’s also a flatworm.

We couldn’t believe that somebody actually got paid to come up with a name that evokes such negative images.

Pinhook Rd. is one of the four or five streets you have to go on to get anywhere in Lafayette, LA, and sees 30,000 cars a day. So I guess the word “pinhook” reminds me of sitting in traffic, mostly.

The town the Rolling Stones grew up in has just decided to call a load of new streets after Stones songs… now you’ll be able to live on Satisfaction Street, or* Ruby Tuesday Drive*!

Whenever we go to my grandparents’ house in Poquoson (near Langley, Hampton, Newport News) we pass a subdivision called, “Running Man.” Which is great, because when I think homey suburban lifestyle, I also like to think of Schwarzenegger ducking behind buildings and blowing shit up.

[Lilacs]

We have a street called Golden Rain in the newer part of town here. I refuse to live on Golden Rain.

I was driving down Overland Avenue in Palms (a part of L.A.), and I could swear I passed a dingbat style apartment house that was supposed to be named the Capri. Only, someone must have gotten mixed up when they did the signage, because it said “Crapi”, in that modish cursive style that you see from the 1950s and early 1960s.

A relative of one of my friends owns that one. It’s intentional. There’s a “Cheezi” just around the corner, too

If there’s gonna be a development called “Journey’s End,” (and there is!) I suppose south Florida is the right place for it.

[coffeecat]

Pity we can’t move to Gay Head anymore.

Oh please oh please oh please can I live on Bitch Street?

@CairoCarol

Do unfortunate acronyms count in this thread?

Because I just had to write a profile on an association called ASPILOW.

And on Monday, the standardized aptitude test my son is taking is called SCAT.

ahh unfortunate acronyms! choose me choose me!

Here in Philippines we have a local terrorist group called the Moro Islamic Liberation Front! Always abbreviated and everyone is oblivious to the western usage of the same acronym

Many many schoolboy sniggers to be had with newspaper headlines describing US and philippine troops Milf hunting down in the southern islands!

@Spoons

. . . I always thought “Candida” was a girl’s name.
. . . While you’re correct–“candida” is also the name of a yeast infection–I would suggest that as recently as the 70s, it was known only to medical practitioners and sufferers; and to the population at large, was better known as a girl’s name.

Another defensive Candidian.

I can say that the Mitsubishi Pajero* must have gone over like a lead zeppelin in the Spanish speaking market.

In my country (Uruguay) the most prominent prison is located near the town of Libertad, so we have the Penal de Libertad, Freedom Penitenciary.
I’m sure the inmates don’t appreciate the irony.

Here in Bangkok, down the street there is a Porn Mansion, turns out to be just a regular serviced apartment building.

*-Pajero: wanker.

I wonder when the season for that is and where you get the permits

[mnemosyne]

Slightly off topic, am I the only one that thinks that “Adult Communities” sounds more like somewhere to engage in very kinky sex, rather than retirement communities?
