Would you be embarassed to live on this street?

heh...In my old job, I've come across some pretty interesting names for both people and street(s).

I had one road named "WhyWorry Lane"

I had some doctors:
"Dr Cutsforth" (a surgeon)
"Dr Payne" (my old dentist)
"Forrest Bump" (a doctor)
"Vip B. Short" (a chiropractor)

then I had a few folks:
"Hagface Blue" (a little boy)
"Timber" (first name-imagine his ma hollering his name...)
"Hosanna" "Hallelujah" "BeThankfull" (3 daughters)
"Elvis Presley" (a schizoprenic sufferer)
"Baby Gramps" (a 54 year old man)
"R. Fallow" (a farmer)

Oh, I would hardly be concerned about having such a street name. Now there is a town in Ontario named Swastika that I would like renamed to the Town of Northern Peace or Trout Bridge Town - something pleasant like that.

What's wrong with 'Swastika'? Here in China I see it as a Buddhist symbol, and many buddhists here refuse to eat meat even, considering that alone to be cruel and barbaric. And it's perfectly normal to use a Swastika as a symbol of peace. In fact, the Chinese character for 'swastika' is a swastika! So if you want a 'peaceful' name for your town, 'Swastika' fits the bill perfectly. So what's there to change?

If they simply bothered to add an apostrophe in the correct place, the problem would be resolved.
