Thinking of a house name

Really...?Skiddaw1 said:NOOOOO!!! Don't change the name! It's unlucky to change a house name.
I grew up in a house that had previously had a namechange.
I now live in a house that has previously had a namechange.
Our new next-door-but-one neighbours changed the name of their house when they moved in.
And all of them were improvements over the original names... No bad luck seems to have followed any of them.1 -
‘Ye House’2

You've got me wondering now.... We bought a new-build 18 months ago that has a name, not a number (small village where all the houses have names - delivery drivers love it). I remember the builder telling us they had a nightmare with the local council over choosing the names - council rejected several they wanted to use. So how does it work if we wanted to change it? Can we just do that or do the council get a say?
Not sure we would though - have never had a new-build before so hadn't realised what a pain it is for the first year while you wait for your address to filter onto everyone's databases from the Royal Mail master file. Right pain changing the address on your car insurance when the insurer doesn't believe your new house exists. *sigh*0 -
What about ‘Norfolk and Chance’?5

I was about to say that. (Wold be a superb solicitor or estste agent name)Martin_the_Unjust said:What about ‘Norfolk and Chance’?
But if it you buy outright it could be
"Norfolk and Mortgage"0 -
Call it "Ye Dinz" and waste the rest of your life telling everyone it's pronounced "The Thing"0

As long as it is not something naff.
If I were to name my house it would be "Ty Fach" which I think is Welsh for "little house".
Was born in Wales but dont speak the language, so apologies to any Welsh speakers. Am based in the Midlands.
Find something that YOU are happy with, after all you have to live with it, not anyone else.Find out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)0
