Name for a Barn

[Giddygrandma]

Not sure if this is the right section to ask but here goes.

We are in the process of buying a converted barn in Devon, it is within a small complex of 3 others. We are considering naming it:

Honeybun
Honey Barn
Little Barn

What do you think?

[Flossiechops]

Definitely not honey bun! Little barn is nice and simple I'm very though I would love a barn

[megcleary]

Barney

[NickNacks]

Bumble Barn

[SoupDragon]

Little Barn. Assuming it is the littlest!

[SoupDragon]

Or Barnaby [arf]

[herhonesty]

is there a connection with bees?

[nancerama]

I know someone who lives in Lazy Barn. I think that's ace!

[Giddygrandma]

No connection with bees, just call it my grandson ........!!

Keep going good suggestions here. Thanks.

[Giddygrandma]

Honeybun that is!

[Thistledew]

Honey Pot Barn is better than Honeybun Honey Barn, if you want to keep the Honey theme.

[Nivet]

Is there an original name for the piece of land? Or farm that the barn was situated on?

I prefer names that refer to the original use, The Barn would be fine - but I suppose you need to differentiate from other barns. Was it a grain store or animal housing?

[Giddygrandma]

Yes, it was a stable, we're not keen on horses though(sorry if you are).

[typicalvirgo]

Oooh I like this game and think we can come up with something much better than Honeybun. Please do not call it this

The Gin-Gan (this is a serious name not a made up thing and has a horse connection but not obvious)

The Byre (although thats cows ?)

does it have any dominant features that could be used ?

[OwlLady]

I would call it The Stables then

it's not a barn if it's a stable

sorry i live in the country we get funny about this sort of thing

[OwlLady]

honestly if you call it something barn and it was a stables, the whole world and their dog who lives up your lane will come and point out to you that it wasn't a barn it was a stable, you will also know who owned it from it's erection in whatever year it was and whose hands it passed through and any horses that live there

even unspecial memories will be brought as that's what we are like

[financialwizard]

Bolted Horses I love horses though

[OwlLady]

even ghost horses, you will hear about ghost horses

you mark my words

[GoldPlatedNineDoors]

Bolt Hole

Prefer Barnaby of all the suggestions on here!

[Giddygrandma]

I know it's not right - honeybun, that's why I thought I'd come on here for choices! It's brill, you've got a lot more imagination than me.

Owllady-that was my thought about a barn being a barn. The estate agent called it a barn so it's sort of stuck. The people renovating call them cottages. Oh I'm in a pickle with it all. Perhaps we don't put barn on the end then. The Stables has always been in the back of my mind.

I'm loving the quirky names too.

[NellyJob]

the Old Stables? imaginative I know....

[Giddygrandma]

Typicalvirgo- excuse my ignorance but what's a Gin Gan? I like the sound of it though.

[NellyJob]

I knew someone that lived in an old slaughterhouse - for some reason he didn't like that as a name -

[OwlLady]

were there ghost cows in the slaughterhouse? or just ghost chickens?

[NellyJob]

well I have googled gin gan and it is too specific IMHO

[GoldPlatedNineDoors]

What are the other ones around it called?

Honeysuckle Cottage
Shell Cottage (if near the sea)
