  • Not sure.  I think various names have been discussed in various threads. I guess TS always wanted to maintain a sense of mystery about them but it was mentioned that some are owing to there being Eastern European peeps on staff.  In fact, possibly staff from other corners of the RL globe too! However, after a great deal of research, Magic Monkey wrote about possible interpretations of the street names when Balzare opened.  Very interesting read.

  • Some of the streets are based on Finnish rivers. If you Google'd all the street name words separately you could probably come up with an extensive list.
