What to Consider when Choosing a House Name:  

Reflect on Personal Significance: 
Think about names that have personal meaning. This could be a nod to your family heritage, a favorite place, or something that reflects your interests. 

Consider the Architecture and Setting: 
The style of your home and its surroundings can inspire names. For example, a cottage might suit a whimsical or rustic name, while a modern home might call for something sleek and contemporary.

Think About Historical or Literary References: 
Naming your home after a historical figure, literary character, or a famous location can add a touch of elegance or intrigue. 

Use Descriptive Words: 
Think of adjectives that capture the essence of your home. Words like "Sunny," "Cozy," or "Serene" can help describe the feeling your home gives. 

Get Creative with Language: 
Explore names in different languages or combine words creatively. Sometimes a unique or foreign name can add a distinctive flair, such as Sea La Vie, for example, that use the French word for Life.

Think About Longevity: 
Choose a name that you’ll be happy with for years to come. Avoid trendy names that might feel outdated in a few years. 

Test Out your House Name: 
Say the name out loud and see how it feels. Sometimes a name might look great on paper but sound awkward when spoken. 

Check the Name for Uniqueness: 
Make sure the name isn’t too similar to other nearby homes or businesses, and check that it doesn’t have any unintended negative connotations. 

Have fun naming your coastal home!
