Like many cities, San Francisco uses some common themes to name groups of streets. See also: ABC Street Grids (for more alphabetical, less-themely street naming conventions).

Ladies of the Night

Mostly in SoMa.

States

For the Most Part, these streets run North-South through Potrero Hill and the Dogpatch. Alabama St. and Florida St. are located in the Mission.

Cows

Mostly in Bernal. Unconfirmed, but come on... Bessie?
