Nope, not at all. But on the other hand, we haven't heard of any others called Apple Lane, either.

In a "kingdom" the size of a large California county, with a population of less than a modern city, even as spread out as the Sartarites are I'd be surprised if the same name was repeated. Not shocked, merely surprised. It wouldn't happen in *my* Glroantha, at least.
