I guess they didn’t want people to end up calling it P Road

It’s a cool name, but I agree its too long for a street. Would make a good name for a park or a reserve or something in the area. To me an ideal street name is around 2 or 3 syllables. “Acacia” is a pretty crap name too though, better to pick something with a connection to the land and the people.

They mention they’re arranging a hui so hopefully a decent compromise can come from that.

    Bah, I've been living on "Geschwister-Scholl-Straße" for years and Papakangahorohoro isn't any more complicated really.

    It's a valid point that names for subdivisions can be very unoriginal, the worst is the nautical themed ones, there's just so many.
