Would you exist on Gay Street?

Somewhat related to threads on strange street names … I was wondering exactly who lives on those streets that have peculiar street names. Did the name of the street impact their buying conclusion, either positively or negatively?
Let’s say you found the matchless house, and it was on Homosexual Street – a common street identify in much of the US. Knowing that people might snicker when they heard your mention , would you purchase a house there?
What about streets with names that sound ugly by today’s standards, such as female names from the s? Would you choose to buy house on Mildred Lane, Ethel Avenue or Gertrude Street?
What about a street name that is impossible to pronounce, like a good, letter prolonged Polish street label somewhere in Buffalo?
Finally … let’s express you were relocated to Circleville, Ohio. You found the house of your dreams … on Hitler Road. Sold?

What I want in a house is fairly specific and picky–enough so that if I launch the right one, I’m not going to let the address change my mind.

A History of Gay Street
History in the Making
Gay Street was the site of the Constitutional Convention that resulted in the founding of the state of Tennessee and was a focal signal for the early political exercise of both the city and the state of Tennessee. On the eve of the Civil War, Gay Street was the site of simultaneous Union and Confederate recruiting rallies.
During the Civil War, Gay Street saw some early violence, a fatal shooting of a Unionist demonstrator, days after the firing on Ft. Sumter. During the war, the street hosted headquarters of several commanders, including, briefly, Confederate Gen. Joseph Johnston and, during the later siege on the now Union-held city, U.S. Gen. Ambrose Burnside. Union Gen. William Sanders died as the result of wounds in the Lamar Home on Gay. Several years after the war, former Confederate Gen. James Clanton of Alabama was killed in a gunfight with a former Union officer.

With a bend at its northern end, you can never really see the street in its entirety. The three- and four-story Federal and Greek Revival-style houses which line much of its length offer Gay Street a remarkably intimate feel. The larger converted lateth-century factories at its northern end attach t
