You don't know me either, it was changed by previous residents and I wouldn't have changed it, I'd have milked the name for all it was worth

Our old house was called Longcarse - some wit (prior to us buying it) had changed the old sign to Pong arse  ;D

some great ideas so far.

The farm as we call it was bought by us last year, it was part of a farm that was split into several lots. There is 4 separate properties where the original farmhouse was and they all have variants of the original name, for this reason I want to name ours something completely different to avoid confusion.

try not to name it too similar in appearance to another farm, even if they are pronouced very different. we are in this situation and often get mail for another farm and vice versa, and we are a good mile away. i think the postie just has a quick glance and doesnt even look at the addressee or postcode.

Good point shygirl, we still get post for Tower Hotel as we are Tower House....the hotel has long gone. We stayed on a farm in a cottage, that was very confusing for any services as the  3 cottages all had the same address just no 1, 2 or 3 and it was a night mare.....took ages to get our phone connected as a Lady in one of the other cottages was well known to the police and had loads of unpaid bills.
Maybe some mixture of your names.....like we are Sandra and Stephen so you could have sand hen farm, or stephra farm...get the idea.... :innocent:  or even an annogamme

What types of tree do you have in the woods? I love tree names in places: Ash Farm, Hazel Wood Farm, Oak Hills, Chestnut Vale, Cherry Orchard House, Plum Tree Farm, you get the general gist. I'm sure it stems from me reading 'The Children of Cherry Tree Farm' as a child. So just find some trees - or plant them if necessary - pick out a natural feature and combine.

Having said that, I'm struggling with ours because we're Court Lodge, used to be Court Lodge Farm, so that's an established name but there's a Court Lodge in practically every village in Kent (if not England). So not sure whether to try and invent something new for the business name or just live with what we've got. Our friends live in Bog Farm which they were keen to change when they moved in but have now grown in to!.

No never. I'm only five foot seven and a bit tall, so a tash would have made me look like a yard brush. ::) ;D
