Kathy C Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Mr C and I have been contemplating naming our house for the last 3 years. We have now decided that a chicken/hen theme would be good. However, the only ideas we seem to have end up sounding like a pub or cafe eg "the feathers", "l'oeuf bonne". Got any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 What does your house look like-old/new, what colour/type, is it town/countryside? I've always wanted a cafe called l'oeuf bonne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy C Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 It's about 20 years old, detached, redbrick, on a housing estate in old woodland. The area is suburban but feels quite rural because of all the bits of remaining woodland about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 'The Nest' A friend bought us a wall plaque when we moved here which says "Welcome to the Nest!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy C Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 Thank you for the suggestions. "The Nest", "The Roost" and "Nestbox" are cosy and snuggly, which I like. I also have a wicked sense of humour and can't resist the idea of making the name funny. We named our last house Craig Galed which is Welsh for Hard Rock (the music we listened to) but of course it could be read another way........
