LOL.  We used to make up all kinds of fancy sounding names for dorm room
addresses.  Some actually were to get samples.  Intel required something
like that at the time if I remember right.  Others were for entertainment.
One was to see how many credit card solicitations (extra points for
pre-approved) we could attract to a bogus person.  We made up names of
professors, deans, and even company CEOs.  The post office doesn't care what
the name is above the address.  They just deliver to the address.  For
example:

  Moe Ron DeDuphous, president
  Intergalactic MegaCorp
  Room B302, BARH
  110 8th Street
  Troy, NY 12180

Unless you happen to be familiar with RPI you'd probably not guess that
address is a dorm room.  A letter addressed like that would get delivered to
the mailbox for room B302 in the Burdette Avenue Residence Hall (locally
known as BARH), which is a student dorm.  The post office will deliver to
the RPI mail feed at 110 8th Street, and the RPI internal mail will deliver
to BARH B302.  They don't care what it says above that, although they'd
probably get a chuckle out of it.
