It did, as did "Swingers' Paradise". But we thought that'll probably not give us a good start with the neighbours.

i would definitely call it the embassy of your imaginary nation, whether one you run here on nation states or some other.

west cabra house works pretty good too.

the mention of cork made me think of cork boards,
but then everybody would stick pins in it and put postit notes all over it.
truth isn't what i say. isn't what you say. isn't what anybody says. truth is what is there, when no one is saying anything.

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! :)

I think that should be "Romans" not "Romanes." And I still like my variation on Gallo's idea, call it "Nostra Domus" and post nonsensical predictions on the door.
