Is it pretentious to give a house a name?

Just that really. We live in a village where the majority of houses have names. A few have just numbers, and some have both. We rented the house for a while but now we've bought it and we like the idea of giving it a name. But is that weird? Do you only get to name a house if it's had a name already?

I HAVE NO PLANS NOT TO KEEP THE NUMBER.

Hope that works a bit better. I thought it was implicit in my OP (since I mentioned houses having both) and I did clarify a couple of times, but I think it's getting lost.

Honestly if the house has a number I really think it's pretentious and pointless to add a name.
