My guesses
Every year, I play this game, and every year, I wind up with about a 40% success rate. So here goes:
Ascension
Birth
Confirmation
Death
Exodus
First Kiss (props to Anti M; love this)
Graduation
Hazing
Indoctrination
Jugendweihe (it's a German thing)
Krypteia (it's a really old thing--Sparta maybe? Can't remember)
Lasix
Menopause
Nothingness
Old guys running around with shirts and no pants (it's late and I'm tired)
Purgatory
...and I'm spent. We'll see how I do this year. The Lasix one was a gag, but who knows. I was trying to make it up to T so I could use "Ticket Purchase," but it's not in the cards for tonight. The bottle of Chambourcin saw to that.

My suggestion is to put the rites of passage in some sort of roughly chronological order. Perhaps confusing for burners who first experienced sex after graduation, but still far more intuitive than parts of a boat:
Esplanade
Birth
Steps
Words
Puberty
Blessing
Kissing
Sex
Graduation
Initiation
Marriage
Parenthood
Divorce
Loss
Solitude
Acceptance
Death
Esplanade
Birth
Steps
Words
Puberty
Blessing
Kissing
Sex
Graduation
Initiation
Marriage
Parenthood
Divorce
Loss
Solitude
Acceptance
Death
SIMON of the PLAYA
I didn't even understand that reference until someone put that picture up from simon of the desert.
If your waiting for god to come simon, your going to be waiting a long time.
A- Adolescence or Agape
B- birth
C- Casket
D- Driving
E- i agree with ear sex
F- fraternity
G- graduation
H- hot dog
I- Intentions
J- I liked whoever said Joyride

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

I see they could go a couple ways with this. One strong possibility is to simply name the stages of life, Birth, Death, Adolesence, and so on. Another pretty strong option is that they would name each street after a very specific rite of passage, like a Bris or similar.
Just Some Ideas:
A-AFTER LIFE/ACCOLADE/ANNAPRSHANA (a Hindu rite of passage)
B-BIRTH/BRIS/BAT or BAR MITZFA
C-CIRCUMCISION/CREMATION/CONFIRMATION/COMING OUT
D-DEATH
E-EDUCATION/ELECTION/EUCHARIST/ENGAGEMENT
F-FIRST KISS/FIRST STEP/FIRST LOVE/FUNERAL
G-GESTATION/GRADUATION
H-HAZING/HAJJ
I-INITIATION/INDEPENDENCE
J-JURY DUTY/JOURNEY
K-KISS/KRYPTEIA/KETUBAH
L-LOVE/LOSS/LIFE
M-MARRIAGE
