House Names...

'Dunroamin'? Sorry, couldn't resist - I'm sure you'll have some more sensible suggestions soon...

I've seen that name online and quite liked it,husband wasn't convinced though(smile)

Another common one is 'LLamedos' (read it backwards)
Is there anything which would suit the road name, or perhaps something in Yorkshire dialect like Eehbygum? I have seen 'Panyan' on Picklers Hill for example. I think it needs to be a talking point rather than a boring name.
Do let us know your choice. Enjoy the fruits of your labour, you must be proud of yourselves.

My friend's husband was an avid self builder. I think he built every house they lived in.
They were always given a name which was a play on her name. Lindisfarne and Lindishaven are two I remember. Personally I think Dunroamin is awful
Tying it into the name of the street/road is a good idea. Could you tell us just that line of the address ?

Street name is Mitford Road,we have roses in the front garden...maybe something to do with them...

Unity then for the Mitford and for you two!

Is there anything special you can see from the house perhaps? Or any beautiful flowers in the garden? Or something based on your favourite location when in the forces?

Our old house was called 'Threeways' - our friends used to laugh and say we were not very imaginative - lol ;)

One thing I truly hate, not for individual houses, but estates, new developments- is the awful idea of naming it or the street after what was totally destroyed to build it 'The orchards' (gone!) 'Badgers' Hill' (gone!), 'Foxholes' (gone!)...etc! In very poor taste ihmo.

Near the sea and roses? Hmmn, name it after me?
Was your DH a Marine? you could call it Mariners (have seen this house name in Devon.) Rosemarine? That's sea and roses in one fell swoop.
Seashells, Shorelea. Is the house a colour, white? Whitewalls etc.

A house near me is called "Orl Wors". (All ours) the owners are Geordies! Our old house was called West House, not very original, but it was at the west end of the village.

By the way, welcome Antjexix. I hope you enjoy Gnet as much as me.

I like 'Mariners' roses

What about the location on the street/road. Could it fall into the category of a cottage.

e.g. The Corner Cottage The End Cottage. Our Cottage.

I would love the option of a Rose Cottage

I hate Dunroamin....

kittylester - I like 'Unity'!

Costaplenty??

Elrel, I suppose it could be Debbo or Diana or whatever the other one was called!

Ooopps! There were three more Mitford sisters - Jessica, Pamela and Nancy - none of them good as a house name though!

Seaford
Proximity to the sea mixed with Mitford

How about Newton (from Newton Park, where the Mitford's were brought up) or Redesdale (their father was Baron Redesdale).

The Mitfords were an unpleasant lot, wouldn't name my house after any of them.One of the sisters was also a friend of Hitler.

Antjex, plant the things you like in the front garden and use one of those names, Myrtles, The Conifers, Rowans, or do you have a view? what about the ever popular Fairview, Meadow View, etc. Rose Dene.
Not keen on funny names I must admit, but have seen Costapacket,KindaKool,Dunroaming and so on.
then there are places that you like.....Windemere, Ambleside and so on.
Let us know what you eventually choose?

Thank you everyone

Rose D'Or

Or a play on the house number e.g. Forteetoo

Thank you. You have all given me something to think about,will keep you updated

Not really a suggestion but I'm from Yorkshire too and I moved to Hertfordshire and the name of the house we bought was The Langdales. I was really pleased with me coming from Yorkshire and being a fair way from home.
