    Please excuse my proletarian commonality as I live in a house with a mere number.

    A good idea to avoid rows is to make up a compound name from the husband and wife's own names. E.g. Brendan and Maureen could call their house Brenmaur.

    Don't get too grandiose either with the name as people might think that you are one of those lottery winner types !:)

    My parents Dora and Ray named their house "Doray", we currently live in a mobile home (next to the unfinished house) which still has the number "123" we wont use that number as there are only ten houses in the area :p

    Hi All. We have recently bought a house in Craughwell ,Co. Galway, and we are at loss what to call it. I am from Belfast and my Wife is from Galway, I am into Motorbikes and she is into Horses. I have tried combinations of the City Names and our hobbies but none of them appeal to me. Any and all suggestions are appreciated. David & Rachel

    My parents called their house Denmarg as their names were Denis And Margaret. Try using half of both your names it just might sound Ok!

    Was going to make mine (moving in in approx 2 months) "Ard na Domhnain" thinking it was "Top o' the world" but on closer inspection, turns out it's "high up in the world" which sounds a bit Haughy to me.
    "Boinn an Domhnain" doesn't quite have the same ring.

    Might go for "Westdare" instead.....(Westmeath/Kildare being where we're both from).

    There's a house on Clonskeagh Road, in Dublin named "Muff".

    Gotta admire the originality.
