Looking at old maps, it looks like Margaretta dead-ended before Notre Dame, so didn't connect with Furby at one point. Similarly, Hargrave didn't extend past Cumberland and Charlotte ended at Notre Dame. I imagine those streets were renamed when they were joined up.

It is interesting that several of the streets in the alphabetical series of women's names lost those names as a result of consolidation with the better-known streets that ran into them from south of Notre Dame:
Charlotte > Hargrave
Margaretta > Furby
Nena > Sherbrook
But others didn't do this, e.g. Carlton and Ellen, Donald and Princess (not a lady's name, exactly, but part of the same grid).
I wonder if Charlotte, Nena and Margaretta were changed all at once and why it went no further.
