Swedish speakers: Name my farm

Vi fångar Fånga (first-person, plural) hasn’t been used since the 40s.

Make it forellgården instead.

And is spelled näs in Swedish.

That is present day usage. You can actually use torp and other words for farms, houses etc to date habitation. Each of them were (mostly) used during a certain period, so if the word is present you will know when the place was first settled.

As it happens my mother grew up on a small manor called Torp.

Wow, you guys have come up with some beautiful names! Sorry for not coming back sooner. Plankton, yes we plan on working it for as much of our own food as possible between us each working full time. We’re not planning on having children, so we need something to keep us busy.

By the way, we found out that the farmhouse was originally built by Swedish immigrants. The rear porch was intended to become a sauna and one of the fish ponds was actually dug for that reason. We would so love to find out its original name!
