House name

Not that I'm implying there was anything romantic about WW2.

The Maples sounds perfect, good luck and many happy years in your new home.

I like a house to have a name, it makes it feel that it belongs to you more in a funny sort of way. I like 'The Maples' and 'Maplewood' and to cover all eventualities you could always plant one or two other Maple trees if you have enough space.

I lived in a house once with the name "Tregurno" carved on a stone lintel above the door. Must have meant happy memories for a previous owner because none of the other houses had names. it was a house that deserved to have a name and I still miss it.

We are considering naming our bungalow 'The Cathouse'as we have seven cats, but heaven knows what the neighbours would think!

The very first house we bought was next door to a house called 'Catbells'

We changed the name of our house when we moved in, three years on and some mailing lists still don't have the new name. A good deal of post got lost in the early days which was frustrating. (There is no number).
I always thought a house only having a name was cool, but actually it's a bit of a pain as you always have to describe where it is, as there is no reference point in regards to numbers.....

Smiling at Rose Cottage. When a dear friend, no longer with us, married Mr White her name and his came together neatly as White Rose Cottage. Lovely, complete with white roses.
She can't have known about the naval slang (she would have said!!) but would be especially amused since she was a doctor who worked in sexual health clinics.

"Catbells" is a Lakeland fell/mountain near Keswick Ana so maybe the people who named the house had been fell walkers?

Doesn't 'Cathouse' also have unfortunate connotations?

I think Catbells was Wainwright's favourite and where his ashes were scattered.

Ive always had a dream of naming a house ,'Rosebay Willowherb cottage', however I was told that this is a weed and anyway I live in an ex council house so naming it is a bit pretentious. I can only dream.

I used to be an ambulance first-responder in our village. Trying to find the correct house in the dark, when it only has a name, or, no name or number can take several valuable minutes which could make all the difference to a patient 's survival.
