Oh, and.. FWIW.. I kinda like 'Hubbard Tolva.' Unless it's a girl. Cause.. you know. When she's older, and has kids of her own.

That's a pretty week choice between the best and worst road names. Maybe you should expand your search to the burbs...

Yeah, they're going to call him "Wacker" anyway, so you might as well make it stick. ;-)
And I can't beleive no one suggested Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard Tolva or Lake Shore Drive Tolva.
