What shall we name our house?

[TheFutureFreaksMeOut]

Where I'm from all the houses have names instead of numbers.

We're moving into a new house next month and we'd like to change the current name of it.

It's a bungalow on a corner plot but The Corner House just doesn't have a nice ring to it!

Any ideas hive mind? Thank you!

Our house was originally Rema - built by Reg and Mary.

I agree- it has to fit with the environment. Our house is called Well Court (no numbers here as rural) because it has a well slap bang in the middle of the kitchen floor!

@Thunderpunt that has killed me and I’ve had a shocking day, thank you for the laugh

My mum grew up at a house called The Shambles and I just love how my grandparents leaned into the name! There’s also one not far from us that I’m in love with which has a big knarly tree at the front and it’s called Tanglewood.

I am now very tempted to rename our (tiny, town centre cottage) house to something completely incongruous like Sea View or Farm Cottage...

Something like ‘The Dowager House’ has a nice air of modest grandeur.

Wasn’t there a storyline in Corrie many moons ago when Vera Duckworth decided to name their back-to-back terrace The Old Rectory?

I vaguely recall a newspaper article about house names and what happens to sell for most, and the answer was Dove Cottage.

Typically named 'The Dower House'

Does it have any notable plants in the front garden? E.g. Rose cottage, Ivy Cottage etc.

Norman Wisdom

The name of a comedian from a good while ago now if you are wondering who that is .

@ViciousJackdaw

The Cinnamons or Excalibur Cottage

You win this round @viciousjackdaw!

Makroom ?

Are you in England? Where are you? Give us some clues, it'll help with appropriate names.

Field View

Oak Lodge ....or something lodge

The house name generator gave me The Nettles and Stone Bank. I quite like those.
We live on a farm though so it's already got a name.

I’m not sure it’s wise to call it a cottage when it’s a bungalow? Calling it a cottage isn’t going to actually make it one. It’s like calling a bungalow “upstairs downstairs”. It’s a bit odd.

Maybe just “the cornerstone” .

Or “little corner” or “the corner house”..

How cool is that?!?!

I once seen a house called 'Tickety-Boo' & I loved it would name my house that if I had one. Good luck with the renaming in looking forward to hearing what your choose

Dry Farm ! ???

LMAO

That's what the name generator threw up for my house.

Another vote for Norman!

So glad we got this sorted good and proper. I'm going to allow 3 months for the procurement of a lovely house name sign and then - ever the optimist - send a well-wishing postcard just addressed 'to Norman (on the corner)'.

Let me know when it arrives, OP.

In honour of Norman, I feel like you should take a feminine twist and go with Norma Corner.

Perhaps name it Cock Lodge(r)
