A popular street naming convention in some towns and suburbs are common mispronounciation of the state's name. Example is in Beaverton, OR, which has Aragun, Aragone, Orygone, and Oregon streets. Aragone and Oregon are neighboring streets, the other two are across town. Sick trick? Yes. Funny watching tourists try to figure it out?
