We live in a 1930's 4 bed semi, on the outskirts of a village but quite a busy main road, there are no amazing plants or trees or anything I can name it after 🤔

I want to name it just because all the houses I've lived in have had names!! Obviously not a grandiose name as it is a pretty standard house 😳

I never understood why anyone would bother with naming a standard house - smacks of pretension to me - but if you must, you really can't do better than Keith.

What about foxes earth? There is a lot of grassy/countryside nearby. Plus there's foxes everywhere now anyway 😂

Agree with it being incredibly naff.

Call it sherlock if you want to be wacky and fun though.

How do houses called Dunroamin ever get sold?

Housey McHouse Face.

Scottish islands are a good source of names. I once viewed a house called St Kilda. I that was a lovely name.

If you like Gin Junipers is perfect.

And then plant a Juniper tree.

Lavenders and plant lavender etc.

The Cinammons

It's a lovely ingredient

i used to live in a house with a name it did have a number but more often than not computer systems wouldn't recognise the number, and because i'm painfully common i just couldn't bring myself to say 'Sawmills house'. we moved after a year and i was so happy to be back to 'no 8 normal street'!
