What should we name our house?

[MuddyWellyNelly]

Literally don't know where to start!

Building a new house in a field in the countryside. Our plot is long and thin so all I can come up with is Long Meadow. There is nothing growing on the plot itself, Beech trees across the road. House will be fairly large so I don't think anything "Cottage". We will have a barn for horses too.

Hit me with your best ideas. All and any welcome .

MuddyWellyNelly’s House?

Sorry! I like Long Meadow though. Beech House sounds very grand!

Ahem

Beech View House

The Paddocks

I like Beechview - but without the House that sounds too grand

Long Barrow

Beech barn? Beech medow? Barnfield?beechfield?

Number 43. Or whatever number it is.

Surely only Emoh Ruo will do

Or whatever number it is.

It's in a field. Chances are there are no numbers, not every house has one.

Dunroamin.

If you look on a map, are there any interesting names for the nearby woods? I don't mean like Dogger's Paradise, obviously.

A lady I knew called hers Tuksumdoin!!

Sometimes if you zoom on on online maps you can see names.

@Beechview

I think you've got it right with Long Meadow

I quite like Longmeadow.

Could you check with the local history society for the name of a previous owner of the land, or even a field name from an old map and work with that?
Most fields were named in historic times and where the names have survived, they're a fascinating snapshot of the past. I love the idea of preserving, or even bringing back into use, something that exisited for hundreds of years but has since been forgotten. New house, old name. Much more interesting and locally specific than just Beech House or whatever.

Long meadow sounds good, I basically went along the theme of what I saw to name ours!

What are you planning to do with the garden/grounds?

You could plant trees and name the house after them e.g. The Birches, Oak House, Ash Place, Cherry Tree Stables etc.

I used that random generator to see what it suggested for my house Pointless

'TV Mast View'

Long Meadow is a bit dull. (Sorry)
The location of your house sounds interesting, so why not come up with something more creative?
Are there any interesting features on your house? I quite like the idea of a name linked to a new garden feature. A friend of mine lives in a newish house that has a Holly hedge around it and the name reflects that..

TV Mast view is hilarious!

Beechview is nice too! I did have a quick look at field names but didn't have much luck, will try again.

Glad Long Meadow is getting some thumbs up.

Crabbity Rabbit we will definitely plant a mix of trees, I love Aspens but thought Aspen Lodge was a bit much haha!
