Name That House

For a long time I have wanted to name my house. I'm almost getting to the point that I think it's too late. I should have named it when I moved in 15 years ago. But whenever I watch "Gone with the wind" and see "Tara", I think again that I would like to name my house. And how about "Howard's End"? I love that name, and could use the word "end" somehow. Brigham Young liked to give names to his houses. He had the "Beehive house", and the "Gardo House". Recently I read a book titled, "Thale's Folly". Thale was the family name, and "Thale's Folly" was the name of the house. Even though I don't like the word "folly", it did give me more ideas for names for my house. I could use words like dream, end, wish, fortune, reward, victory, pleasure. Or how about just the name "Serenity"? Or I could combine a couple like, "Victory's End", or "Victory's Pleasure". Okay....I'm still thinking. lol

If it was the first Apartment you lived in in Provo you could call it D......'s Dump. LOL
How about just calling it "George"?
Freedom Manor? Honesty House? D's Despair? Double D's? Pedee's Place (P & D's)? Or do a combined name like the Magazine's do for celebs and call it the Daul (Doll) House.

We've been wanting to name our house too. When we first moved in we thought about something with "vista" (in Spanish). But now they've started building houses below us. I told my husband maybe we should wait - it may end up being named "Vista de Nada". :0)

I live in a ground floor apartment in a building of six apartments in a complex with two such buildings. So, I can't name it. I still hope to move into an independent house and I am likely to call it 'Crank's Nest'. To get an idea behind that name, you must visit my http://rummuser.com/?p=1972

Some ideas I had were: Victory's place, Conversion's End, Mission Hope Place, Outreach Place. I liked PD's Place mentioned above. P&D's Nest. Maybe Blogger's Nest or Cycler's Endl. It's kind of fun just thinking about it.

I have to differ with you Stick. Our first house was not a dump. :P I actually liked it!

Ramana, I'm loving Crank's nest! :)

D,

I wish I could help you in coming up with ideas, but I don't have skills for house naming (sorry). However, Serenity sounds lovely :D.

Cheers

I always wanted to get a white house and paint the shutters periwinkle and the front door green and call it "Wisteria Cottage" :)

Stick said...

Maybe that was our second place.:o)

D's Landing? Pot sticker place? Sushi Central? The hot pot? P & D's walk (Wok)?
