The under-construction Wilton Gate scheme will bring 640 homes to Harnham, plus a primary school, local centre and country park, developer Vistry says.
Salisbury City Council's planning committee was asked to put forward 10 suggestions for street names at a meeting on Monday, January 19.
They will be taken forward by Wiltshire Council, which is responsible for street naming.
The city council had previously agreed that names from Salisbury's First World War memorial would be considered for use as future street names.
Council officers then submitted a list of 182 names taken from the memorial and a book of remembrance at St Thomas’s Church.
Councillor Andrew Suddards, a former RAF Harrier pilot, suggested a shortlist of soldiers across ranks, ranging from Privates to a Company Sergeant Major.
The committee also proposed a relative of Harnham West councillor Brian Dalton.
The relative's name was omitted from the officers' original list, but cllr Dalton has provided evidence that he was a First World War veteran.
During the discussion, two councillors, Annie Riddle and Victoria Charleston, recommended putting signage at the completed estate to explain the significance of the street names.
Cllr Riddle said: “Maybe the thing to do would be to have an information board somewhere as you go into that estate saying, ‘the names on this estate are commemorating some of the local people who fell in the war’.
“We could certainly ask if there could be some kind of board to explain the road naming – why it’s named after these people.
“I think we should use cllr Dalton’s relative because they are a Harnham family.”

The committee then discussed recent planning applications in Salisbury.
They included proposals to turn the former Russell & Bromley and Peony unit on New Canal into a Rituals luxury beauty and wellness boutique.
Committee chair Caroline Corbin said: “I’ve looked at it and, as long as they’ve followed the guidelines for shopfront policy, I don’t see a reason to object.”
They also did not object to Wiltshire Council's proposals to “restore an historic door” to the Grade II*-listed Council House on Bourne Way.
The original timber door, which opens into a room known as the elections office, was “subject to unauthorised removal and disposal by a company as part of a fire safety works”.
It was replaced by an “inappropriate” plastic door.
