What is the weirdest/worst/best house name you have ever come across?

I saw a house today with a plaque outside saying "Serendipity".

Marge: Look at this place. The house number is spelled out with letters.
Homer: Get used to it, honey. From now on we'll be spelling everything with letters

don't know if it's still there, but there was a house in Ballincollig called 'Enterprise-D'

I like Star Trek as much as the next trekkie, but I'd never have THAT level of commitment!

When you live in the country it is actually beneficial for a number of reasons to have a name on a house. Nothing snobby about it tbh.

Bedside Manor - house in Ranelagh.

That is pointless, and attention seeking in the highest form. Some of them are that ridiculous you have to wonder are they meant to be satirical.

A alcoholic neighbour of my cousin named her two children Adam and Eve and then named her house Eden

Poor kids.

"Doom and Gloom"

I sh1t you not. This house is on Brewery Road just off the N11. It's the main road to the Sandyford Luas. The house is opposite the Leopardstown Inn and back towards the N11 about 50m.

At first I thought it was a joke, but the sign is metal and fixed to the brickwork gatepost and has been there for years.

For emergency services I'd imagine it'd be more useful to have a house number and road name. In rural Australia, houses are numbered according to their km marking on a road - a much better system. I can't think of any advantages to having a name over this.

Also house names aren't exactly satnav friendly.

The owner of a pig farm near here built a classic example of bungalow blitz complete with columns beside the main door. They don't actually have a name on the house, but everyone in the area has adopted the name I gave it: Southpork.:D
