    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!

    There's a house near Croke Park that has a speedbump outside it, and they have a fancy wooden plaque saying 'Speedbump'.

    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.

    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.
