The UK City of Derby has been seeking suggestions on names for a major road project. Among dozens of entries, the leader so far? Lara Croft Way.

That is, if it's up to marketing director John Forkin. "We have waited a long time for this road and we need to give it a name and the right name. Personally I would be in favour of something that projects something new and modern about the city so I quite like the Lara Croft idea," he says.

Croft's actually a local heroine, since the studio that created her, Core, is based in Derby.

Another suggestion was 'Dog Woof Way,' since you can supposedly hear dogs barking from a nearby animal shelter. Looks like we'll have to wait a little longer to see if Lara will still be top dog after the final vote.

Maybe we should start a petition to have Broadway in NYC, right outside Rockstar offices (and GameDaily HQ) changed to Grand Theft Auto Avenue. Any takers?
