House names you might have chosen, and their meanings.

Never lived in a named house but a family member did . Jonliste. I bet you can't decipher their names from that can you ???
I've seen plenty of narrowboat s with comical names.

House numbers only for us- same thing as personalised number plates - not really us.

I saw a sign by a front door which said THE DOG HOUSE.
Couldn't make my mind up whether it was what the DH was in or because they had lots of dogs.

I have only ever once lived in a house with a name, but as that is also my password I can’t share it (or I might have to kill you)
But I am amazed at the type of person locally who gives their house a pretentious name. Not you Panache!
There is one at the edge of the small development I live in in our village (we all have numbers) which calls itself ““——- Lodge” . As if!
And our old house (very old, an 18th century farmhouse which had been divided in two) was always “2 The —-“ as it overlooked the village green.
Its new owners call it “2 —- Farmhouse” All a bit Hyacinth Bouquet.
I have never seen the apocryphal “Dunpayin” or “Erzanmyne” but I bet they exist somewhere

Sanctuary because it's where I feel safe.
