It might be the traditional Māori name for the location but it's too long and impractical, say residents of a new Whakatāne subdivision.

I guess they didn’t want people to end up calling it P Road

    I definitely couldn’t pronounce shmutzfangmatten though, and I doubt most of NZ could either. I also think there would be a similar push back if you tried to name a street that.

    Kinda a ridiculous hypothetical to be honest.
