There's a town about 20 minutes from us by the name of Gay. It was a guy's name back in the day. To get there from here we drive up Gay/Flat Shoals Rd.
As culture changes, ordinary words take on different meanings and that sometimes impacts their acceptance. Hooker is a last name and most likely that's where that street name originated.
