Zenoria Street (Lounged)

[Ultraconsultancy]

I'm thinking of naming a business after Zenoria Steet, where it will be based. I think the word itself sounds kid of funky; and it also means we might get fewer marketing calls.

But I'm concerned that Zenoria might be some ancient now-discredited fascist leader responsible for the death of thousands [these things happen you know], and would thus present the wrong image.

So, apart from a town in Louisiana, USA, does anyone know after whom or what is this ED Street named?

Yes, it's actually named after an ancient now-discredited fascist leader responsible for the death of thousands. Bad Luck!

Zenoria mulsant is a genus which includes parasitic flies. Does this help?

Don't know if the following is of any interest :

Zenoria in aragonese

Zenoria was, apparently, a femae name used by Victorians - which may explain why the street / raod is called Zenoria but not its origin. Can't find it in the Bible - a popular Vistorian source of names.

According to the history of East Dulwich book by John Beasley, "Zenoria Street (1882) was named after Zenoria, a child of Major Sill who fell in the American War, and was buried with her grandfather Joseph Sill (died 1779)in St. Giles Churchyard'

How about Xenoria? Might be even fewer of those and the pronunciation is the same. Nero

Hi Anna

Are you thinking of Arboria, the tree planet where Timothy Dalton held court? Now that IS a good movie!

Wasn't Zenoria the eldest daughter of Jobe, ruler of Babylon from 1202bc - 1157?

What about using the name Cavonia?

When you answer the phone you could start the conversation as "CavoooooOOOOOOOOnia"

Oh sorry, that one's already taken...

If you google Zenoria, you will in fact find that it is a thread on the East Dulwich Forum entitled "Zenoria Street" (Lounged). I thought everyone knew that! :-S

"Zenoria Street" is where Big Bird's Babilonian cousin lives.

Zenoria is also where a beautiful, purple lady came from in the first Star Trek series. Capt Kirk snogged her and had fisticuffs with the evil alien holding her captive, the evil alien looking like a bloke in a very bad carrot disguise.

Spock couldnt give him the Vulcan neck-pinch because carrots dont have necks; but Kirk pureed him - so all was well.
