BumbleB -- I loved your suggestion!
Often - the builders of streets would name them after family members, such as children etc.
I haven't just made that up -- a publisher of local books who studied his home town - has researched such things as street names and discovered that in many cases they seem to have been named after his children.
That won't always be the case of course.
I do find street names fascinating though and often wonder why they were so named.
Paradise St or the like - often looks like anything BUT Paradise now!
