just finished building my house i'm looking for a nice name for it i live just outside ennis in co.clare in the country id like it to be irish. is there any web sites with names
I like the suggestions up above, could someone tell me what 'Sunset House' is in Irish? I would like that name for mine.
Thanks very much. Was going to call it Whitethorn as we have a ditch full of it down the drive but I absolutely love the sunsets we get, so go with that.
How about the townland where you live?
Just please, please don't call it 'Dunroamin'. Please.
Putting names on houses is soooo pretentious. And particularly Irish names which gives the impression that not alone do you speak the language but that you are arrogant about the fact. It's almost like living in D4 and changing your surname to the Irish version as a sort of dubious status symbol.

I agree if you put a name on the house where there is a house number, yes it is the ultimate in pretentiousness. However, I would not think the same would apply for a house on its own land in the country as it is a one off.
You would have to be carefull though, calling it something like "Dunroamin" is not good - anyone remember "Casa Bevron" in Brookside all those years ago.
Are you "Roger Melly the Man on the Telly"?
