House names you might have chosen, and their meanings.

A little light entertainment on this sunny Monday morning.

I shall kick off with some of our own.......

Knotty Pines......named because we planted pine trees all around the garden plus some ceilings and walls indoors were clad in pine wood (complete with knots!!)

Cast-a-way......living on a cliff edge overlooking a busy harbour and bay we oft felt as though we were castaways far away,though sadly there never was an island!

Morningside........a cottage overlooking the same Bay and the bright morning eastern sun, which on a good day bathed the frontage in an orange glow

My house doesn't have a name but I have seen two that amuse me -
"Atlanta" and "Harfa".

TellNo1Ok The house you mention DOES have a cryptic name. The name painted on the side of the plane that dropped the first atom bomb was Enola Gay, after the mother of the pilot. The original owner of the house either knew someone called Enola, had a particular interest in atom bombs, or was gay.

When my friend Rosemary became Mrs White they called their new house White Rose Cottage. They also planted white roses, of course!
