I propose that we split the difference and all roads should be numbers!

I recall that when I was in Hawaii. Google maps and some of the road labels are a little weird in the States. I remember there was a long name, so I paid attention to the exit number.
The exit number had A, B and C. Except when I turned off, I saw XXA, then XXC and I freaked out that I had somehow missed the turn and turned off on C, only to see exit XXB as I was turning down a curve. I was so mad about that turn off. Why the heck would it go A, C, B in the order of the exits?
We don't do this insane labeling in Canada, so going by exit number isn't a huge deal. That being said, I also think the first nations word isn't a major issue if it's like 2-3 syllables. It's when it's like 5+ like in Hawaii that it gets confusing fast if you aren't familiar with those names.
