Now, we recently found one we adore, and we've put an offer in. We don't have it yet, but there's a good chance we'll be getting it, so cross your fingers for us ;)
Anyway, reason of this thread is, the house doesn't have a number, but is currently named after a saint. And since neither himself nor me can relate to that in any way at all, we're thinking of re-naming it once we have it, only we can't decide on a name that would fit... we neither of us want to go for the traditional corny kind of names like Pine View, or Bluebell Meadows or something along those lines, but we wouldn't mind letting the location of it play part of the name. It's in a village outside Cork, on a hillside overlooking fields and some hills.
I was thinking of "The Nest", but hubby says that reminds him too much of Hitler's Eagle's Nest. He ruled out "The Burrow" the moment I mentioned Harry Potter, and "The Shire" was out for the same literary dislike on his side.

Can anybody suggest anything? I'm just gathering ideas at the moment, so any input would be much appreciated! :)

If it was for me I would go with Duntrollin'; although I did see an address once that was Pear Tree Cottage and I thought I would like to be the kind of person that lives in a house called Pear Tree Cottage.

Could call it "Bau" or "Hoehle", but neither of them have the cozy ring to them that the English words have.

Interesting question , here in the US the post office gives us official numbers changing them would cause you to disappear from the face of the earth. Unofficially we have local names my daughter lives in the Mckenna place . There are no longer any Mckenna's they have all been dead for years , but if you want to physically find your way to her place that is what you better ask for or you will never get there .

Elsewhere, sounds good to me hopefully you will not disappear . Unless that is what you want to do
