Bah, I've been living on "Geschwister-Scholl-Straße" for years and Papakangahorohoro isn't any more complicated really.

Probably not, unless you like to name your streets in German.

The siblings Scholl were part of the White Rose resistance group in WW2 and were decapitated (aged 21 and 24) for spreading anti war propaganda.
