I’m hoping this should be faintly amusing... I’ve just moved into a house with a name, which is a new departure for me. It’s called ‘Woodlea’ which is a typically lame suburban name and as we live near Reading, part of which is called Woodley, I’ve already explained the difference far too many times. Any ideas for a memorable name?

Even better if you're between number 62 and number 66.

Just also change you're name to Thirteenth Duke at the same time...

At times like this a man perfectly reasonably asks himself... what would Jack Duckworth do?
Mistress Fongs budget knocking shop, casino and opium den for the frisky but frugal gentleman
Those are some nice options, especially the Frottage. (When isn’t it?) it’s a tad big for a Ty Bach, and we’ve still got plenty of upgrading to go- it’s a bit antiquated!
We are about 200m back from the river, with most of the village inbetween. I did think of calling it ‘Thames View’ with ‘wait a few years’ in small letters below...

So, not wanting to be associated with the “royal” tag eh... well I’d agree there.

A house in Carlisle was called Firkue Hall iirc. Or something very similar.
He said near Reading, north of the Thames is Oxfordshire, south is Berkshire.

I knew a chap called Steven Wales. He called his house Ty Cymru. Which means Wales house.
Very smart.
I love looking out for street names that could be a person's name. Like Evelyn Close I saw the other day near Twickenham. If you lived on such a street you could call your house Evelyn Close, and change your name to Evelyn Close too. Then your address would be:
Evelyn Close
Evelyn Close
Evelyn Close

The comedy value would surely be worth it.
"our house"
I was thinking some unpronounceable Gaelic name, but then whenever you told people your address you'd probably have to spell it out every time.
Which would be annoying.
I've seen a Fircombe Hall and an Ellinside and in Stamford there's a Melancholy Way, it'd be interesting to find out the names of houses on that street.
When I worked as a multi drop delivery driver I loathed people who named their houses, especially if they took the number off. Their parcels never got delivered and I have quite a lot of sympathy for Hermes drivers who lobbed the parcels over a hedge.

I lived in one of them which was 3 words long ..... i gave up saying it and just spelling it out from the start .... unless the person i was speaking to had a scottish accent in which case they usually knew it as its quite common in scotland n all that ....

I grew up in 2 houses - The Dell (which was in a dell) and Bramleys (which was in the corner of a Bramley orchard).
Is there anything relevant about the location you can use?
My current house is called Mellows which is a crap name.

Theres a house near me next to a hill called - predictably - 'Hill House'.
However on the map it appears the hill has been named after the nearest feature - which is the house. So its called 'Hillhouse Hill'
