Need a house name

[Needahousename]

We’re soon going to need a name for our plot of land where our house will eventually be built and need some ideas.

We are in a small village where all the houses have names and the road that runs through the village does not have a name so couldn’t give the house a number even if we wanted to.

Do you get your own post code or Google Maps pin (I think you can put these on yourself?) or do all the delivery drivers need to remember that The Smiths live opposite the Post Office, The Jones by the bus stop and the Greens on the corner just as you enter the village?

Bide A Wee
South Farthing
Wuthering Lows

Housey McHouseface

New Yam

(New home as in going yam)

I’ve changed usernames in case I’m recognised……

We live in Scotland (near the borders) and our house name has been admired - Ellangowan.

It’s an old Victorian manse. I think there are only a few Ellangowans in existence.

Hadley means Heather Field.
Hadley House?

Windy Bottom

Dunmanifestin

Another vote for Cornerstones

My favourite out of all the suggestions is
The Meadows
Or something like Meadow View or Meadow Way

Can you see a church or near one ? If so , and you say you are on the borders , Kirk House , Kirk View ,Kirk Holme etc ( Kirk meaning = church )
Or if your field held livestock , then the breed name of the animal so for example ( sheep ) Swaledale House , cows - Highland View ?

Newfield Cottage?

New House.

Finally! I was only reading this thread looking for this suggestion 👏

Do you have a favourite book? I would choose a place name or other word followed by 'house'.

Are there other bungalows? If not, call it The Bungalow. I once lived in a cottage which was called The Cottage.

I like Five Fields Point! I bet there isn't another one in the whole country.

..... although it might cause more confusion than it's worth - the Post Office / Local Authority might veto it (visitors looking for a no.5 in a street called Fields Point)

I like this idea.... [heads off to look at own house!]

@MaudDeBohun you are welcome.

I also favour ‘Dunfartin’ but I am a massive child who ought not to be allowed to name anything. My old chickens were named things such as Her Royal Highness Princess Margaret & Hanky Bannister….

Actually, Hanky Bannister is a great name for a house.

We’ve done this!!

We chose to name our house after where we got married. It also fitted the area quite well as it is woodland themed in our case.

For example, if you got married at Stoke Park you could call it Stoke House. Sopley Mill could be Sopley Place. Newton Hall could be Newton Field. Hengrave Hall could just be Hengrave (poor chickens…)

You get the picture!

Funny you should say that, my friend lived in "New House" and my mum lived in "New Place".

Or morph your names- there were two houses where I grew up called "Hilfred" and "Brijill" 😁

Herdwick Cottage? I love those sheep. Just the best. Bonus points if you can actually see any...or even Herdwick House.

Garth Brook - if there’s a stream or brook anywhere near
Glen Close - there must be a glen somewhere nearish
