Has your house got a name

My house has a name as it is out in the countryside.A friend once sent a card to me but couldn't remember the house name so addressed it to The Posh House on the Hill, xxxxxxx (nearest village which is a couple of miles away). It made me laugh as it isn't posh just a bit different. Friends who run a greyhound rescue charity called their house Dunrunnin and it is engraved on metal greyhound.

maddy47 My parents house in South Africa was named 'Brigadoon'! The house had a lovely view from a hillside looking down into the the valley, and towards the sea on one side.

I live in a small village where all the houses are named. The house we bought 4 years ago is a pretty ordinary 3 bedroomed house but has a very pretentious name. I always think that visitors arriving for the first time must be expecting something very grand and are probably disappointed. I always feel the need to say it wasn't us that named it.

We named ours 'Hakuna Matata' during last year during lockdown. And now we have managed to get the name made, and put it on the house wall.

We had to be positive!

When I lived in a small town in an affluent area of the Home Counties we called our house ‘Tynehyce’ - it was amusing getting the different reactions of people who called round!
I am now in a house that is named on the OS map so we stick with that

Ours has, A friend of mine with a great sense of humour called his SEA VIEW he is surrounded by fields, ??

I know a house called Sea View which looks straight at a brick wall.

My house was called House Martins because the builder found a nest of them in the garage of the building.

When my second husband and I moved into a house in Roos, East Yorkshire, it was called Brigadoon. Couldn't live with that name, so asked my friends for suggestions. The best one was "Kanga".

When married the first time DH1 and I bought a lovely old house in a Fife village with no name or number, just addressed The Square, Village name. We reckoned it was a beautiful house and needed a name so chose a name from the history of the clan we belonged to.
I liked using the name but now we’re no longer there I often wonder if other owners have kept it in use.

Yes "Church view" because l live opposite our village church and have a lovely view of it.!

I know some people who have named their house "Mother in law's view"

Our 1938 semi has a name - it's on the deeds of the house and carved (rather illegibly now) on a stone plaque on the wall next to the front door. No other house along here in an ordinary street of ordinary semis has a name so it's rather curious. I have very recently started using it, not sure why!

Mine does but we don't use it as the tree for which the house was named was cut down years before we bought the house.

I live in the US and I love the idea of naming our home! I think maybe Hamlin Hill. Also, I was talking with a lady who works at a big box store near my home and noticed her British accent and she is from the UK. We started talking and we both love George Clarke’s shows and neither of us have tv’s !

Our house does have a name but we don't use it. We only know as it was on the deeds when we bought it, and all the houses/bungalows, which were built in the 1930s, were given a name not a number. As more were build they all have numbers now so we don't use the name, but it's nice to know a bit of its history.

Our house was called Oak View when we moved and also had a number. We dropped the name as there now is not a single Oak tree in view. Lots of trees but no Oak trees. The thought of having to explain to people that we didn't name it and that we had no idea where the oak tree was meant we dropped it the day we moved in.

As others have said, what3words is commonly used now by delivery people and if you live somewhere hard to locate you should find your three words and quote them to anyone who needs to find you. Saves people wasting time and getting frustrated.

You can also send your precise location to WhatsApp users by clicking on the paperclip and 'location'.

I viewed an old flint cottage which was in the grounds of a converted school. It was called “Nit nurse Cottage”. I didn’t buy the house in the end, but if I had I would have kept the name. Part of its history!

I grew up in a house called “Home”. Talk about naff!

My husband was a taxi driver before he retired. He often complained to me about the time wasted by trying to find houses without numbers, particularly at night. Driving up and down country lanes in search of the Old Rectory or Whitegate Farm or something similar infuriated him.

I've never lived in a house with a name but I like the name of the home of the gods in the Terry Pratchett books. Other gods may live in heaven or Olympus or Valhalla, but the Discworld gods reside at Dunmanifestin. It's a gated community.

We live on a farm with an ancient name comprising of 2 words. It's a nightmare to spell as they're old English words & it very often gets spelt wrong. It means Cottage in the water meadows, apparently. I love it as it's unique but very often wish, when I'm spelling it over the phone to the same person for the 3rd time after trying the NATO alphabet & failing "no sorry, I don't know that" from the hapless individualat the other end, , that we lived at Top Farm, Manor Farm, North farm....!!

I live in a small village, and the house we bought only has a name - Tournaig. There is no road or street name, but I was told recently that the name of the street was The High Road (it leads uphill - to a farm).
The official address (as per the deeds) is just the house name, followed by the village name.

No name to the road or numbers so we rely on the house name which means nothing to us but did to the people before us. We should have changed when we moved in!!!!

Yes we have a name as do the other 6 houses along our road. None of them has a number but postman , police etc have no problem finding us. As far as we know it has never had a number ( built in the 1930s)

Mine is called lakeside i live on a lake. Are you supposed to register the name i just put it on my new plague bit cheeky i guess im in uk
