This could/could not be considered a theme but Palm Coast, FL organizes their neighborhood/minor roads by alphabetical order (all the A-named streets are in one section, and so on).
Tallahassee, FL has streets named after all the counties in Florida.

Hollywood, Florida uses a presidential theme on its east-west Streets beginning with Washington and ending with Coolidge. The city's gridiron was laid out in the 1920's.
