When my folks bought their place out in the boonies, they lined their driveway with holly trees, and called it Holly Hill. The hollies are all gone now, but it doesn’t matter - we always called it Mom’s place anyway.
The Tomatohawks. It’s the name of my computer, and it’d be funny to make people say it. Of course, I have no money, and my irreverence could be a symptom of that
I always called my place Cloud 8. It’s not cloud 9 but it’s not bad. That, and we are way way high in the mountains. To the point that clouds are often below us.
I would name my estate “Mystic Sunrise”. I saw a street named that and like it, so I’m stealing it.
Currently, my husband and I refer to our place as the “O.K. Corral” because the street we live on is O_____ K_____ and our litter of foster puppies is at the “thundering herd” stage.
Really, I’d like something that suggested haunted decay in a spooky “Hound of the Baskervilles” vibe. Or something Lovecraftian. The Wormsloe Plantation is a good real-world example.
Or spoof it, and live in picturesque Fhtagn Estates.
Drunkenton, because the guy who owned it back in the day would get plastered with all his Norwegian bachelor farmer friends and they’d all pass out on the lawn.
Not funny or cool. My ‘estate’ already has a name.
I purchased my house off the estate of my Grandmother, and it was already named ‘GlenRoss’, which is a smashing together of my mother’s first name and my grandmother’s eldest grandchild (IE my cousin). I’d spent a lot of time in the house, so I kept the name, even bought a snazzy new plaque and attached it near the front door.
