Mayor Sam Broughton said the names came down to personal preference with the developers and the "wriggle room" the district council thinks it might have, doesn't often exist.
He said the alternative "Migratory" and "Territory" names weren't much better.
The district council's asset manager Murray Washington said he has a
"good laugh" sometimes when he sees names come through.
He said the names can be sent back to the developers for further consideration.
Broughton told Bland if he wanted Squawk St changed he needed to give a reason.
Bland retorted: "If they can't do better than that, I am surprised they have managed to subdivide that large area of land. Let's not let themselves down at the last post."
Councillor Murray Lemon said unless the names confused emergency services or was offensive, he didn't have a problem.
"If they want to call it Squawk St and try sell some sections on it and find it difficult that is their business," he said.
The road names were approved, although Bland and Reid voted against them.
