House Name...?

[PresbyDane]

Decades ago it was custom to name your house, and as most of you know me and my wife Line (Hadassah) have sign papers for our first house and will be moving in around september 1.

I would like to ask for suggestions for a name for our first family home, so please give your best suggestion.

 

[OPC'n]

How about Semper fi?

 

[Curt]

Covenant House?

 

[Reformed Thomist]

The Shack. Barring that, The Purpose-Driven House.

Just kidding.

How about Geneva?

 

[Wannabee]

I like the idea Martin. Of course, many who used to name their houses did so because they had several and it helped them distinguish them. Consider what you want your home to be known for. We call ours Charis Haven.

 

[Wayne]

Denis and Marge Haack, who run Ransom Fellowship, named their house "Toad Hall".

I think it's a great idea. The tough part is coming up with a great name !

What's unique about the house, or its location, or its occupants? That's one way to start.

 

[Whitefield]

White Horse Inn

 

[Theognome]

nåde

Theognome

 

[rbcbob]

Udlændigheds Hus

 

[Southern Presbyterian]

How about Bawb?

 

[bookslover]

Fred.

 

[Idelette]

Why don't you name it JOSHUA 24:15! That way when people ask; you can tell them....

".....but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." -Joshua 24:15

 

[N. Eshelman]

Not theological, but in my circles we often refer to our home by the street that it is on. Example: "I am going over to Wendler to see the guys." OR "Hey, did you see the new landscaping at Union?"

That gives a nice sound and does not have to have too much explanation.

 

[AThornquist]

Berea

 

[Mushroom]

The Lion's Den, or the Sheepfold. Take your pick.

 

[Ivan]

Fred.

Or Freda...you'll have to check.

 

[Rangerus]

Fred.

Or Freda...you'll have to check.

 

[PresbyDane]

I can still use more sugestions

 

[Mushroom]

Well, you can always use ours - The Nutbin.

 

[Curt]

When I was a L'Abri the chalets all had names, like:
Chalet Bethany
Chalet les melezes
Chalet les sapins
Chalet la Bourdonette
Chalet Beau Site

I hope you aren't against French names in Denmark!

 

[Beth Ellen Nagle]

Gihon - valley of grace
Gilby - estate of the hostage
Bethemek - house of deepness
bethesda - house of mercy
Chetwin - little house on the twisted road (if you have one )
Peyton - estate of the fighting man
Wahroonga - our home

just to name a few

 

[Peairtach]

"Eben Ezer" - Stone of Help (I Samuel 7:12)

 

[AThornquist]

"Eben Ezer" - Stone of Help (I Samuel 7:12)

Especially fitting if you don't celebrate Christmas!

 

[he beholds]

Chalet Shalom--you'll want it to be a place of wholeness and well being.

 

[Berean]

I can still use more sugestions

 

[AThornquist]

Norm, how about THE HOUSE OF THE RISEN SON?

 

[Berean]

Norm, how about THE HOUSE OF THE RISEN SON?

Sounds like a good one. Now to translate it into Danish

 

[Theognome]

Norm, how about THE HOUSE OF THE RISEN SON?

Sounds like a good one. Now to translate it into Danish

Would 'Huset i steget søn' work?

Theognome

 

[Berean]

Would 'Huset i steget søn' work?

Beats me. Online machine translation? Should 'søn' be capitalized? Wake up, Martin!

 

[Theognome]

Would 'Huset i steget søn' work?

Beats me. Online machine translation? Should 'søn' be capitalized? Wake up, Martin!

Beats me, too. My Danish is even worse than Martin's English.
