    I have spent quite a bit of time on this. No doubt you know your target market, the features and benefits of your development, and how you would like it to be perceived. Match that! My number one tip to get your juices going on choosing a name is to go to liquor store. You'll look like a bit of a freak, but start walking the aisles and reading the wine labels - these companies have spent a lot of time and money on trying to make those names and labels tell a story of desirability and prestige. You don't need to copy them, but you'll get more ideas than you could imagine. Buying a bottle to bring home will help as well.

    Infinity on Gertrude. The word Infinity is very significant amongst Asian culture.

    Hmm dressing up the name "Gertrude"? I think my talents would be better at solving the Syrian conflict (note they'd be pretty hopeless at solving the Syrian conflict)...

    Geez. How about partitioning the council to rename the street?

    Is it really on Gertrude? I thought you were kidding! Hahah. Perhaps use the suburb name or something. Or just Infinity. ;)

    No not on Gertrude Street.... but not an attractive name that I would want to use, just giving an example
