Two-hundred more street names are slated to be added to an official list in an aim to identify some of the 2,000 unnamed streets in HCM City.
The 200 new names must be approved by the HCM City People's Committee.
The street names will be added to the current official list of 150 names.
Many of the unnamed streets are either newly built or informally named by residents, city officials have said.
Half of the unnamed streets are located in suburban Cu Chi District, according to Phan Trong Hien, secretary of the city's Council of Street Names.
The council is in charge of compiling a list of appropriate names and assigning street names, all of which are then approved by the committee.
Each city district is responsible for applying for street names, and applications will be considered on a chronological basis.
This year, the Council of Street Names plans to submit to the People's Committee for approval of 35 names for streets in District 2 and 45 names in Tan Phu District, although the two districts have applied for 52 and 74 names, respectively.
Last year, the council failed to name a single street due to delays in formalities required by the city.
The council said it would also suggest replacements of inappropriate names often given informally by local residents or street developers.
Some of these include names such as Duong vao trung tam thuong mai Binh Dien (street to Binh Dien wholesale market), Duong ven tuong rao san bay (street around airport fences), Duong duoi chan cau Sai Gon (street underneath Sai Gon Bridge)./.
