Evocative House names

[EternalOptimist]

How about


Wuthering Heights
Tara
Bag End

[monkeyboy]

Bell end


or the classic Dunromin

My house was called kidsroamin when I bought. That last about 5 minutes.

[The Lone Gunman]

Dunvalanrigh, not evocative just no one south of the broder can say proper.

Means valley of the kings in Gaelic, another word they can't say proper. Ok while i'm having a moan, what about loch? Why for the love of un-named super natural beings is it pronounced 'lock, in Englandshire?

We English prefer our language to not include expectoration thanks.

[DaveB]

I used to drive by a house everyday on the way to work. The reason I remember it? The name....


"Chlamydia".

A popular one in Scotland is 'Hameldaeme'

Its Gaelic for something or other.

Another one is 'The Tip' which is self-explanatory.
