Residents of neighborhoods with roads commemorating US Olympians are debating changing their street signs to match one honoree’s new name.

Those living on Bruce Jenner Lane in Austin and other cities face questions about whether their roads should be renamed after the Olympic decathlete unveiled her new identity, Caitlyn Jenner, on the cover of Vanity Fair.

‘Should we put both of them on there? Tape one underneath it?’ Texas resident Ray Briggs asked.

Briggs and others in Olympic Heights, a neighborhood where the streets are named after famous Olympians such as Wilma Rudolph and Jim Thorpe, say they are supportive of Jenner.

However, they now must decide if doing the paperwork to make a change official is worth it.

‘I thought about doing it myself,’ Briggs told KVUE.

Address information for bills and GPS systems would need to be updated given an official switch.

Apparently the folks in Austin aren’t the only ones having trouble deciding on what to do about Bru-…Caitlyn’s new identity.

El Paso residents on a Bruce Jenner Lane and those living on Bruce Jenner Drive in Clarksville, Tennessee, are also deciding whether to update their street’s name.

‘I don’t think they should change the name, because the street was named after he was an Olympian, and who he is now doesn’t change who he was in the past,’ Bianca Duran, of El Paso, told NBC.

Some think that the neighborhood should use the name change to find a new idol for the street, which has been named after Jenner since 1983.

Jenner’s alma mater Graceland University in Iowa also has a sports complex named after the athlete.

What do you think they should do?
