The English seem to have a great talent for coming up with interesting church names. I actually prefer St. Andrew Undershaft, which conjures up the idea of a church inside the Tube. But my all time favorite is in Rome--St. Paul's Without the Walls, which always suggested to me a church with no walls.
Oh, and not to forget (even if it's no church) the Glastonbury street name I saw flash by me as the tour bus drove towards the Abbey. Leg o' Lamb Lane.
I defy any country in the word except Britain to have a street with that name.
