naming rooms as streets

[marnanel]

When I was about five, I drew a plan of our house, and then named all the rooms as though it was a town plan:

• Moon Drive
• Guitar Road
• Dancer Street
• Jumper Park

Somehow, forty years on, my family still use those names for the rooms.

I have continued the system. For example, in the house we just moved out of:

• Lamb Street
• Treacle Road
• Orion Way
• Drawing Close

And in the new flat, two tiny rooms (or large cupboards):

• Sonnet Road
• Ocelot Street

This is the street names system. It's surprisingly useful if you make sure the names don't fit any pattern.
