Living on the island I've started to notice more and more people have named their cottages...for example "Whalebone", "Buoys and Gulls", "Nevaeh" (Heaven backwards) "Ma's Place", "The Aunt's Cottage".

I'm hoping you lot could give me some inspiration on how I could incorporate my love for chickens and the islands in coming up with a name.

[clootie]

Can only suggest some old Scottish words really Mark,

 

Cearc (pronounced kirk) is chicken and Innis is island.

 

I'm not one for playing on words like the "Buoys and Gulls" example in your post but prefer something that has meaning, personal or otherwise. Sorry I'm not very good at this but I know lots who are on this forum!! Good Luck !!

I'm not very creative, but something I saw on a beach hut once, that I really loved, was 'Multum in parvo', which means 'much in little'.

[TOMWARDFARM]

'Heaven Sent'

I'm not one for naming houses, but I like that one Olly.

 

Mark, do you have any photos of the cottage, so we can get a feel for it?

[Peaches]

What about Poultry Towers? (I'm hoping you've seen Fawlty Towers )

[majorbloodnock]

Not a play on words, but the name "Bantam Isle" at least has the right cadence.

 

Going off at a tangent, one of my favourite house names is on a building that's in rather an exposed spot on a hill; they've named it Dambrezi

And you say you are not very good at this, I like "Cearc Innis"

[Chickvic]

That's a fab name

Not much to look at but here it is as requested.......

 

 

[Olly]

ooh, lovely crisp clear colours, and I like the little octagonal window!

[Egluntyne]

I'm not very creative, so have no sugestions beyond the Hencatraz, Peckadilly Station type of thing but am finding myself very confused that majorbloodnock has the same avatar as Angels 4.

 

I thought Mark was talking to himself!

I thought I was losing my mind for a moment but if I am, I'm in good company.

I'm glad you like it - you've made my day !! Cottage looks lovely Mark and against that bright blue sky and sunshine, perfect. Lots of great suggestions coming in from the Oms, I wonder what you'll decide on eventually !! You'll need to get a sign made next and I can see just the place for it to hang

[Happy-Mama]

I like Cearc Innis too.

 

Sorry I don't have any suggestions of my own...

 

looking forward to seeing your final decision

I thought I had lost the plot too. Confusing when avatars are the same/or when people change them

 

No ideas, sorry Mark.

[Willow]

Not really a useful suggestion but my kids are regularly in hysterics over a house near my parents called 'Moy House' - hint has to be said in an Irish acent

[jackiepoppies]

Poules/et/moi

[Valkyrie]

I like that JP. How about Tres Chic - double meaning there. Love the cottage Mark.

[majorbloodnock]

Is it a small island?

 

If so, how about "Fish and chicks"? Or "Beakini atoll"?

 

Apologies for the avatar; I'll go see if I can find another (seeing as I'm the new arrival).

[Rona]

I think Cearc Innis is a great name and can't think of anything better. If you whittle it down to a few favourites, you could do a poll and get us to vote on it.

[WarrensWorld]

Chicken Island in Italian is Isola del polo,

 

or in Portugeuse Console da Galinha.

 

or in Dutch (my favorite) Kippen eiland,

[Seagazer]

I love Clootie's suggestion, it has a lovely sound to it.
