Actually, for most of these freeways in Southern California, the bureaucratic
names ARE the common names. There are a few exceptions: the 605 (as you have
pointed out), portions of the Glendale Freeway (officially, the Frank G.
Launterman freeway), the Century Freeway (officially the Glenn Anderson
Freeway), the 118 (officially, the Simi Valley-San Fernando Valley Freeway).

The naming is a artifact of the CalTrans District Policy. The SoCal districts
name freeways for ultimate locations; NoCal names them after people.
