What would you name your home? (Maybe you already have!)
I suspect Trevor's home is named SKIDMARK. :teddyr:
the Bleak house
THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT! :teddyr:
Given the fact I used to read so much Stephen King, I always thought it was a little funny that my house is called The Stand, supposedly after a stand of oaks that were there when it was built about 90 years ago. Too bad it's not called The Overlook. Much cooler book.

I live in a garden flat (which is actually part of a much larger house) and have done so since 1998. My landlords moved out in 2004 and relatives of theirs moved in, causing the place to be re-named "Mon Debris" from "Mon Repos". I hate to say it, but my landlord's relatives stuffed up that place totally and they were kicked out last month. Now the place is almost back to what it was in 2004. :thumbup:
My house-to-be (a week or two away from signing all the final paperwork and moving my stuff in) will probably be called THE GAMEROOM. Not because I have a bunch of stuff (just a few arcade machines) but because I will purchase a 60+ inch TV, hook up my computer to it, and play all my games from my computer onto my new TV. Luxury I tells ya!

I suppose our farm name covers the house. "Walknuk" It is a compromise between my husband's surname (Walker) and the name of a place ("Waknuk") in the John Wyndham novel The Chrysalids where they had "Great Horses".
I always feel so geeky explaining that... :tongueout:

When we purchased our house we also purchased some land adjacent to it.The land is full of trees and bushes and i told my daughter that fairy,s resided at the bottom of this huge old chestnut tree, thus we named out house FAIRY GLEN.

My Business Law professor used "Blackacre."

Yeah, the generic name for a parcel of property in a hypothetical question is traditionally "Blackacre." If there are two lots they add "Whiteacre" and three they put in "Greenacre." But I'm radical enough to make a "Plaidacre." (If I were a lady I might name it "Pinkacre.")
