In this, I much prefer England, where Lombard St. remains obstinately Lombard St., centuries after Edward I's Italian bankers went bankrupt and moved back to Lucca, and Mickelgate stays Mickelgate eevn after the Danes have thoroughly assimilated into a local population who's forgotten that it once meant Main Street.

But regrettably, London's Gropecunt Alley and Pissing Lane didn't survive the Victorian era's gentrifications - the latter became Passing Lane, and the former, with a wonderfully sly nod to its past, became Threadneedle Alley.
