House name

Sorry but to me Maple Lodge does sound like a care home or a rather grand house. You could just go with The Maples.
I like Maplewood.

DD lives in Belgium and her street name is in French but when she uses a taxi she has to give the name in Dutch otherwise the taxi driver doesn't understand

Monica - good advice, a house formerly known as Lake Farm still appeared on various lists as that years later. Taxis and emergency services didn't have the new name which it was bought with causing confusion.

When we moved to our present house it was 2 Xxx xxxxxx Court which we used until being informed by the council that they hadn't given permission for that address. That's 23 years ago and they still send letters to us at that address.

I like Maplewood too.

My 95 year old aunt is in a care home called Maple Lodge, it does sound a bit like an institution.
Why not ascertain exactly what type of Maple it is and see if that is pleasing.

Is the tree in good heart? I know someone who lives in 'The Elms' only there aren't any now.

There's a care home called Maple Lodge not a million miles away from here. Maplewood is much better and more appropriate to you Luckygirl

When my grandparents moved after after 60 years in one house they changed the name of the new place from 'Rowan Cottage' to 'Wirthelaru’.
Their new neighbours thought it sounded quite exotic, but it was named due to my granddad's habit of wandering around the house looking for nana, all the while muttering 'Dolly, where the hell are you'?

I like Maple Lodge. Or there's Maplewood or Mapledene. Good luck with the move - you're definitely doing the right thing, I'm sure you'll grow to love the new place.

We had a house called 'Maplewood' a little different from house or cottage.

I think this link covers it Lucky.

My parents in law have lived in (amongst others) April Cottage, Pine Cottage and Rose Cottage. The latter has been in the family for a long time and having recently moved into it permanently my parents in law have decided to change the name. Fortunately it also has a house number so it's not as much as a palaver as it would be otherwise. My house has only a name and no number and we decided it would be too much bother to change it when we moved; it's a reasonable name, but rather grand sounding for us.

You will need to inform the Post Office of the change of name if the houses in your road are identified by name rather than number and it might be worth including the phrase (previously known as........) in your addressfor the first year.
