Hi
Now that we are nearly finished house renovations, we need to find a house name. Anyway we in the family can not agree, so I was hoping someone out there could come to the rescue. House details to help with naming: : Its a small cottage
: 1 x church & graveyard opposite and up a bit to the left
: 1 x graveyard about 50 yards down to the right of the house
: 1 x pub x 4 doors away (hubby loves living here)
We are first generation blow in's from Dublin, so if anyone has any suggestions, we would be very glad of ideas.

We need to give the house a name, as with more houses on road being let out and none having a house number, the postman suggested it.

thanks in advance

how about "Heaven's Gate" - your house is between the graveyard and the pub (the pub is heaven)

here is a good list...

You've sold it to me!! If it was my house I'd take that. Good thinking, Batman!!

I always loved the house name
"The Nook"

How about 'Down the Hatch' to cover all eventualities

Since it is near a church and a pub how about "Temple Bar"?
