I like to interpret these kinds of names as though the word was a plural noun. Kings Cross: monarchs have to get to the other side of the road just like the rest of us. Herons Court: a description of avian mating behaviour.

I don't think St Marys Terrace really works though.

Probably not a coincidence. I read that article today too; the submitter could very well have done that and went to the linked website afterwards.
