How about ‘Marlomeda’ it is means the end of the Rainbow.

I've tried to think what I'd call our house, though I know my husband would be embarrassed if I actually put up a sign. I get too hung up on wanting something nice, not humorous, but not obviously wrong for where we live, such as "Sea Breeze" here in midwestern suburban prairie. If we went historical, maybe some name from the part of Germany where the town's founders came from, like Westerwald. Ugh. It's better to just read about them in novels, I guess. Here's one for Magpie: the sign on our bathroom door is a French no parking sign which reads "no parking; cars coming out" Since all we have here are rigorously numbered houses, I’ve always thought that houses with names in books sounded rather grand.

We don't use the name..come to think when we looked at the house it had a wooden plaque which said NorWanda....as someone said "Norwanda you got rid of it!" Friends of ours (and I actually do mean friends) are so pretentious that they bought a house called Gatcombe House because it sounded like one of the Windsor family homes! They now live by a lake in Alberta and call their house "Secret Water"....all their pets are called after characters from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.... I do some times think that calling a house "Go Away" or "Think Twice before Knocking" might be interesting....perhaps I could use a variety of names according to my mood? Seen on a toilet door in a house of my ken...Gatcombe actually... The Euphamism and in VERY small letters underneath , Choose your own..... Must stop rambling...Grannymar you are very good at stimulating my peculiar brain. We inheritted Hazledene and next door is Ivydene!

“No. 74″
