Monticello. Mount Vernon. The Taj Mahal. Tara. Tilde Sanctum.

Other than the homes of rich bestirds and snooty nobles like those I've alluded to above, have you ever heard of an average, everyday person naming his or her home?

    This house is a girlie house.  The awnings are eyelashes, the steps are a puckered mouth :  )

  • "Nope"  Closest I can get is "Scotty's Castle" is named for gold prospector Walter E. Scott, although Scott never owned it, nor is it an actual castle.  Well ... he probably owned the original Scotty's Castle (pictured below), but he didn't name it.



    (there is still some it left on
    the hill above the mansion)

    Of course.  In English villages most of the homes are named.  Growing up my best friend's family had a vacation  house on the river that was called Grand Shore.............everyone knew the house by it name.   I think naming vacation homes is more common that main homes, which, incidentally in England would be called XXXXX Manor.  Manor indicates the main residence.

      Whenever I see a sign that says, "Manor House", my blood pressure suffers.

    They use it in haunted house names a lot.  Is that why?

      No, because it's redundant.

    The average person does not name their house, unless the pipes burst: then it's **8%#@
