There's plenty of names that are a nightmare to say in other languages, it's not about the language, it's that it will be an ongoing headache for the residents of the street.
And frankly, I think their voice is the most important one, because they're the ones living here.
cool. how is papakangahorohoro hard to say or hard to remember? i literally just typed it from memory and i've seen it all of five times before. i know no te reo besides te reo, haka, maori and PAPAKANGAHOROHORO
"other languages" aren't we talking about one of the OFFICIAL LANGUAGES of New Zealand? yeah bro, you're racist as fuck.
Wait, the people living in a place are the most important voices? Jesus fucking Christ the irony.
Have another muffin.
