Has your house got a name

Names are not ‘naff, not on older properties that had names long before numbers were used, especially in rural areas.

But yes, seems a bit pointless naming a modern property when they are numbered from the word go.

Our last one was Kerralenta which was a combination of our daughters’ names and I still have the sign somewhere but they had mostly left home when we moved here so I didn’t bother.

It did have when my Nan lived in it but I ve never used it

The wonderful Dorothy Parker called her house "The Rising Gorge".

I live on an estate so names seem pretentious but I like the idea if houses are individual styles and set a little way apart.
I would love “?cottage” or “ the old Rectory” if I could afford such a property.

If you have numbers, names are a bit naff, like personalised number plates, but fun.
I call mine various names when writing letters as the mood takes me, Windy Way, Sunnyside etc.

I live in the countryside where all houses have names, no numbers except for an occasional little group of council houses.

Ours has and we get quizzical looks and a question.
There’s nothing unusual about the two words but it’s not a name you’d normally pick for a house. MrMuse picked it way before I moved in with him 7 years ago.

Ours has but we don't use it.
