to want to re-name our house Squirrels Leap?

[TwoFirTreesToday]

My husband thinks I am, he says its twee! Our house is named after trees that no longer exist, and I want something nice. Am I being unreasonable? If so (and I probably am as he doesnt agree) then what can we call it?

do squirrels leap around your house ? sounds nice btw

well, if you do, remember to put the apostrophe in when you get the sign made

It is twee though! I don't get why people give their houses twee cute fluffy bunny names, but if it's what you want that's fine. What suggestions does your DH have?

I think thats cringy

lol MrsBadger!

Makes it sound like a place squirrels go to comit suicide.

no offence but a bit naff and youll have hell of a time saying your addy on the fone

I think Dunroamin is nice

'Squirrels Boing and Have Been Known To Attack Bluetits' is technically more accurate.

LOL threadworm!

Can't you just combine your name and that of your DH?

Unless you are called Squirrel, he is named Leap, and you have already done that.

You have to have planning consent (yes, I know, nuts, isn't it?!) to change your house's name, assuming it is known by it's name, and doesn't have a number as well.

My parents had a sqirrel leap into their house while they were on holiday last year. Poor thing somehow got under the floorboards and by the time they got back was very much an ex squirrel complete with maggots pouring out from under the skirting boards. Dp's were traumatised for weeks, probably not as much as the squirrel though.

oh if it has a number as well you're better off without a name

I've twice had squirrels fall from trees in front of my eyes. That's a bit useless isn't it?

well yes, MrsB, but the OP might not see it that way

It is a bit twee. Squirrels Plummet would be less twee...

rename it "The Olde Coaching Inne"

Sorry but if I went to a house called that I would have a hard time not snurking about it. It just makes me think of really comedic leaping about. Like you would be sitting in the front room and they would be constantly shooting past the window - "wheeeeeee!"

Mrs B maybe it is a descriptive name and it is just noun-verb - in which case it should be Squirrels Leap (as in Sh*t Happens)

Yes, if it has a number why name it?

Well, since you asked (and thus not allowed to get the arse on), I think maybe you should think of something else.

I take your point but think it unlikely...

lol snow leopard.Maybe they should just use shit happens then!

I think Squirrels: leap! would be better.

Mrs Badger there is a Badgers Rest near us. Constantly surrounded by obedient exhausted badgers flat on their backs, taking it easy.
