The general rule of thumb is you either:

name it after the species of tree, plant or animal that was eradicated in the development of the housing

name it after your children

give the subdivision some faux theme....for example there is an area of Gatineau where all the streets are named after areas in the Cote D'Azur, south of France or French ski resorts all designed to give the area an otherwise unattainable ambience.

The City of Ottawa has this website to see if you have chosen an acceptable name.
