That is funny, and you're right, the new name is probably not true.

My friend told me that when Cockeysville became a high income suburb
instead of a little unincorporated area, they named it Hunt Valley.  I'm
not convinced.  Even for a prude, is Cockeysville so bad?     Hunt
valley is a fair name because they do have nearby horse farms, several
steeplechases every summer, and I haven't gone but 25 years ago I was
told they had foxhunts on one weekday morning every week. The woman who
ran a sort of gift shop a half mile away said the major activity was
drinking.  I didn't think I'd fit in and I don't have a horse, and it
was in the morning, and I wasn't invited, so I didnt' go.
