I have come across several cases where roads have been named by
developers. There is a street in Grimsby called Thorgam Court named
after the builders Thornber and Gammon.

There's a Docwra's Close next to Shepreth Station. Pronounce that!

There are two streets in Ballachulish called Elizabeth Terrace and
Angus Terrace called after the developer's parents.

If you are allowing that kind of "naming after", then many of the
Victorian roads in West Bridgford are apparently named after the
developer's relatives... Albert, Florence, Mabel, Violet, Edward,
George, Henry, Millicent etc.
