Has your house got a name

Yes all the houses in my village only have names, no street numbers. It must be every delivery person’s nightmare.

Must get one--Witzend.

My big house had a name, given in the 1800's in keeping with houses built at the time---all villas on the sea-front, though I never used it. Unlike my ex. SiL whose house name has to be included.

On my way to work every day I passed a house called Pandemonium.

A woman who lived near called her house Mazin. She then told me that her name was May and she was never in. It made me laugh.

My house was one of the showhouses and the builder had a plaque made of the name of the design fixed to the outside wall, so we just kept it. Hardly use it - just the number.

Ours has according to the deeds but I would never use it. Not at all helpful for the postal service when all houses locally only have names. Houses with names always seem bit pretentious to me.

Oldbat1 not much we can do about it if we don’t have a house number. ?

My house name is the same as a very famous and historic Royal residence, so yes, it is VERY pretentious! ?

It’s not pretentious oldbat if apart from the name of the road it’s all you have. Not uncommon in small country villages like mine.

In my case it would be pretentious as I live in a town in a street of semis!

There is hardly a number in our village. That’s what Suffolk is like! And every village has a main street called “The Street”. Thank goodness for postcodes!
