I specifically remember that Lois was a daughter of one. I have also always imagined that it was used as a tool to lure investors, i.e "Ivan for a thousand $ investment, we'll name a street after you". Since they were labeled alphabetically, I would think sometimes that they just had to come up with something that fit. lol, it's something I used to think about as a kid.
