Yes, it sometimes happen, for example in my country above all in my state the street has names very strange, as names of animals, in my state has namers of animals that of people died, look this name of a street Ave. Ballena, colony caracol, when I'm living the street a name of a person very famous the name is Colony Morelos, the names of the street some are very strange, but we can't to do nothing about it, we don't change the names, if I can change the name of a street, I'll call him, street Gael and another street I'll call him Gael, both names are of my children's well good bye.

Right. You can translate "colonia" as "neightborhood" or even "part of the city", but in addresses, it's not used at all.
