This weekend I drove past a new development of upscale houses ($800K+). That wasn't really unusual. What was unusual was the name of the development.

Announcing Slitting Mill, an enclave of four new homes nestled on generously sized 1 ½+ acre level homes sites in prestigious Edgmont Township, Delaware Co.

Slitting Mill? Does anyone do any kind of focus group testing. I mean, a lot rich people probably aren't afraid to get a little blood on their hands, but isn't this going a bit far?
I know in the U.K. there are some place names that reflect a bloody past, and even in the New England area of the U.S. you can find places like the
Gibbet Hill Grill, but you would think that if there was an actual choice available, the developer would pick a different feature to highlight.
To be fair, the slitting that is referred to is a manufacturing term. Still, to me the name sounds like the title for a horror movie.
