A street near where I live is called Speilburg. There's also a Heming Way (like Ernest Hemingway), and a Tolkein Avenue.

"Another theory concerns two famous roads that crossed here. The Old King's highway from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh (now the Old Philadelphia Pike) ran east and west through the center of the town. The road from Wilmington to Erie intersected in the middle. The joining of these two roads is claimed by some to be the basis for the town 'Cross Keys' or eventually 'Intercourse'.[1] A final idea comes from the use of language during the early days of the Village. The word 'intercourse' was commonly used to describe the 'fellowship' and 'social interaction and support' shared in the community of faith, which was much a part of a rural village like this one.[1]"

Batman, Turkey (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman,_Turkey)
the mayor of Batman actually tried suing Warner Brothers a few years ago because the psychological impact of the movies were supposedly causing women to commit suicide. shockingly it turned out that "honor suicides" are a big thing there and that the movies had no impact on it.
