Naming a house

[NewLP]

Can anyone help me with naming the house I am in the process of buying please?

The official postal address is No. 13 – the house doesn’t actually have a number on it and I noticed on the H.M Land Registry plans it is also numberless.
The current owners tell me that I could apply to the Post Office to have it changed to either 11A or a name – I believe it costs around £85.

I don’t really want to go down the 11A route, but can’t think of a name – I don’t want to do the usual “dunroving” “casablah” or any occupant name tying.

I have looked at the possibility of tying in the Street Name somehow, looking for a link between the Apostle the street is named after (son of Zebedee and Salome) and the number – but alas, there were only 12 Apostles!!

The nearest link I can find between the Apostle and the house location is that he was a fisherman and I live in a seaside town – the house is literally 200metres from the beach.
He is connected with cockle and scallop shells. Patron saint of arthritis and rheumatism if that’s any help!! (doesn’t help me any)

Can any one out there come up with something creative??? Please??

Name your house NewLP - how boring to have street after street of numbers and no names. And how sad that people think it is somehow naff to name a house.

But don't name your house 'NewLP'.

Did think about that one Twiglett – not for long though.

find a translation of number 13 that you like ..

call it Apollo

(apollo 13)

Another good one SG, but nah…

how about calling it "Thirteen"

Erm, Twig – didn’t that one blow up!!!

tredecim

or

decim et tres

are both latin for thirteen apparently!

Names are naff.
My (old)house was 13 (partly chosen for this reason) nad myparents' old one was 31,but spelt out 'thirty one'. In Welsh.

Calisto – NewLP ….hmmm, not bad. Where I begin my proper life as a Lone Parent…link to MN…never forget it ---

tredici

is Italian

tretten

is Norwegian

Dertien

is Dutch

тринадцать

is Russian

Anyone know what it is in Spanish – Apparently my Saint had Spanish connections.

oh it didn't cut and paste?!

Beg pardon Cec? - the Russian one..

trece

is Spanish

casatrece (13th house)

slightly better than naff .. but still generically naff

aw go on call it Kevin and be done

erm, don't lots and lots of people live in houses numbered 13? Do they all have conspicuously bad luck?

Agree that it is naffissimo to give a numbered house a name (look at us! we're soooo individual!!).

It's lucky for our family.
That's why I knew our No13 was right.
We had 12 very happy years there.

alternatively, call it Casa Santiago.

That sounds flash enough that you'd maybe get away with the naffness

Hmm – looks a bit like Tracy/Tracey – no offence to any Tracy/Tracey’s out there, ok name for a person, but not a house – just like Kevin back there
