Use of nigger in proper names

Using the n-word (nigger) in any context is not okay, it is a word that can hurt and offend people. It is a cruel word that has been used in the past to describe black people in a horrible way. Naming things like places, streets or buildings with this word is not respectful to those who it has hurt. It is important to choose kind and respectful words when naming things.
