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 .

Humdrum House. Not suggesting it is, but I really like it!

Skyview House
Longskies (?)
Skyfield

Oooh, you live near my granny! (I googled Macbeth’s Cairn and recognised the place name with the planet in it.)

Craigievaar Brae
Cairn House
The Howe
Dunsinane (going with Macbeth here)
Birnam Beeches/Wood
Cawdor Craig
Craigton House

Long Sky Acre
Skyfield Acre
Skyfield Paddocks
Skyview Acres

Somebody stop me.

Cheddar how funny! I like some of those!

Minor Prophet I'm not about to stop you - I like some of those!

Seeing your house is to the east of the people that solm the plot how about Eastothem. Or Easterlea

Shepherd's Delight?

How about the place you honeymooned?
I know people who've used an acronym of their kids nam

I like the sound of the nearby planet and your anticipation of big skies.

Stella Maris
Stellar House
Pole Star
Aurora Borealis

Pemberley.
Sandringham
Chequers
Howard’s End

Ooh MerryI used to show a horse called Shepherd’s Delight.😃

I wanted to change the name of our house when we bought it but it is considered unlucky and as our plumber’s bill jumped from an expected £750 to £3,500 (1987) due to finding all the pipes going out were broken and the ones entering were lead I didn’t need any more bad luck!
I wanted to call it Roman Tree Cottage. Romans’ are very popular tree in Scotland. I rather like Long Meadow. In our previous village we had some lovely house names... Lavender Cottage, Honeysuckle Cottage. The ones on the front had sea related names as they overlooked the bay. Have a look on the house sites.

The number and name of the road.

ForalltheSaints it's quite common for rural roads to be nameless. The road we live on has no name. I do feel for delivery drivers.

Housey McHousface?

Do local placenames tend to have a common era of historical origin (Roman, Viking etc). They tend to have themes for geographical features.

I'm in a Viking area, lots of -bys and kirks. Low lying areas near streams tend to have -eaton.

I love The Twattery, would work beautifully on my modern estate. Most of the house names that have been bestowed don't sit easily

I'm off to slip down the rabbit warren of an old maps link now. Bliss

Burrage - meaning long thin plot

A kind of portmanteau of your names, like Tracey and Darryl from Birds of a Feather (dalentrace)

You could also use wildlife in the name.

Foxes Hollow
Badgers den
Meadowview
Sparrow lodge

The house name generator suggested I name my house Red End

I've finally got round to reading the full thread.

You honeymooned in the Seychelles. Would the village name or the island that you stayed on work, say LaDeigue Cottage check out the spelling.

What grew in the meadow.
Where our house is there used to be poppy fields and I think Poppyfield is good . ( We don't have a name)

Meadow Long

Fox Meadow

What wildlife comes into the plot?
Robin House
Owl's Hoot
Ladybird Meadow

(Pity it's not a cottage, as you'll miss out on Earwig Cottage.)

Monty Don’s garden is Long Meadow.

Little meadows
Stars folly
Star field
Sunshine house
Gazers folly

Personally I like little meadows.
