Who names new roads?

I'm not sure that's the case. The builders often give developments such
fancy names, which are then ignored by the council with much more
prosaic names.
We had an office once in a new street the developer called Online Boulevard
-- but the council renamed Station Approach. This was reasonable enough as
it is a road to Leatherhead station. However, the road to the other side
of the station was -- and still is -- also called Station Approach, which
caused some confusion, and a nearby road which once led to a different
station is called Old Station Approach.
We didn't fancy 'Online Boulevard' (despite being an IT company), but
something a little more creative might have helped.
