Homely Home Names For Homes

On July 19, 2015 by

The title of this post may seem like a bit of an ironic joke, but it’s truly intentional. Home names are tricky to pull off and if not done with some efficacy they can appear silly and often times self deprecating.

But why not. Maybe you are set on a name, or maybe you are looking for a name. This post will provide some interesting names to consider, as well as recommendations to definitely not consider.

Names To Consider:

When naming a home it’s a good idea to think about the people who are living in it, the hobbies and interests of those people. Once you’ve got that down you could go for a name that suits them:

  • Corner Cottage
  • Ivy Cottage
  • Mill House
  • Orchard Cottage
  • School House
  • The Barn
  • The Bungalow
  • Mill House
  • The Coach House
  • The Cottage
  • The Croft
  • The Gable
  • The Granary
  • The Haven
  • The Lodge
  • The Nook
  • The Old Rectory
  • The Old School
  • The Stables
  • White Cottage

Names To Not Consider:

It goes without saying, if you choose one of these names it will make you cringe every time you look at the plaque on your door:

  • Poo’s Place
  • Hag House
  • Threeway
  • Doubleganged
  • Ladies’ Garden
  • Afghanistan
  • The Holy Land
  • A Pyramid
  • Hole
  • Kuminside
