These, Ii know, are for a more classical and nostalgic aesthetic, but unaware of the term used for them to be called.

I don't know the name of them either, but they're not a new type of streetlight. These similar ones has been on US 60 in Newport News since 2008

Those same lights can be found in Chicago as well. They really don't have an official name attached to them (although I'd call them teardrops), but I'm guessing that their design is meant to evoke the look of the incandescent fixtures that were common in the 1930s until 1950, when mercury vapor lights took over.
