house names

My parents in law lived in Rose Cottage, then April Cottage and now in Pine Cottage and my daughter lives in Lavender Cottage.

What lovely names grannyactivist I really like April Cottage and Lavender Cottage, so sweet.

Coach house. I've thought of renaming it chaos!

I used to live in "Shanlaragh". I discovered that it was the name of a vllage in Ireland, I fancied it so chose it. My present house which was built in 1988 just has a number.

We are very close to the River and we have as our flat name Sea Breeze which fits in nicely with the area.

Cartref has always appealed. (I've always been stuck with numbers

We called our first home Campari and the company who produces the drink sent us a free bottle. Still a favourite tipple today

Our house is Ty-Diwedd welsh for the house at the end

We started our married life in Rose Cottage. All our houses have had lovely names. Our current home is Fidwell Cottage. There's supposed to be a well out there somewhere!!!

So far, No 28, The Old Manse (in Berkshire), No 6, No 1 and No 71.

Sounds as though you live at a bus stop Flick. Mine 11 ,47and 3.

We did have a bus stop opposite No 1 when we lived there. Very convenient if I was returning from town with heavy shopping.

Mine is Heaven Scent

I've never had a house with a name. My friend Linda has lived in Lindisfarne and Lindishaven amongst others. I like both of those.

Mine is Rubblehall...............appropriate since I share my life with a man who has an obsession with bricks .

There are no house names or numbers in our village. Address is surname: hamlet name: village. The one postcode covers an area of several communes and quite a few square miles. Delivery drivers are very confused and it is not unknown for us to get stuff for other English people, presumably because all English surnames look the same.
There is vague talk of reform, but as this is France I won't be holding my breath.

Little Laight Cottage in Scotland is where my husband was living when we got engaged. It was a bothy then, but now it's a rather lovely holiday cottage.

I know a house named Llamedos ( read backwards it says it all)

I grew up in a house called Thorngrove, - not very attractive!
Then my first house when we got married was called Garth.
It put me off house names for ever!

Oh I don't know henetha I quite like both of those names. Sometimes houses are already named when you move into them , once in Cornwall our house had been named Ar-tic-toc which I assumed was Cornish [until I found out it was Eskimo for polar bear.]It was all painted white!Another Cornish house was named Kel Gover which I was told meant hidden stream [small stream in back garden that you couldn't see from the road.]You don't see many Dunroamings about these days [thankfully] but there may be a few Costapackets.

17 [formerly no 2] - blame the council!!

henetha Lots of places in North-east England are called Garth. It means an enclosed courtyard and comes from Old Norse.

Didn't Dorothy Parker call her house The Rising Gorge?

Lots of houses and roads in North Wales are called Garth, or include the word, which in Welsh means cliff or hill.
