What's in a name?

My current homestead is measured in square inches--someday it will be at least yards! I tried an herb biz at mom's 3 acres 10 years ago--*(*#&$ deer!--called Red Thistle Herb Farm--yes, there is a reddish/maroonish thistle! I love that name but my next place will be Fig Fairy Farm--guess what I raise? (No need to say "Ick"--I just grow them!)

Just named our place- Matthew's Country Haven

It's land that's been in dh's family for generations....it's my country haven.

Morning View Farms. It was named after the incredible morning view at our first farm. Since then we have moved and the morning sun is great but we very rarely see cuz it is on the back side of the house. But since we have been calling ourselves that for 7 years we figured we should just keep it-but now it is plural since we still have the first farm.

Mine is Deberosa - combining Debbie and Ponderosa. I had a guy come to an old place of mine to give me bids on various projects - I had already added a deck, had a great garage and shop built, etc. He says to me - "What are you trying to build a Deberosa?" Well, Yeah matter of fact. Did a google search and found only one reference in a Spanish article to an "independent" woman. Well, that convinced me that my new place is Deberosa.

we chose cottonwood (dairy) bec our place is filled with cottonwoods. not real imaginitive but i would like to call the place "belly acres" with alla bellyaching the kids do with chores....lol

My FIL named the place Cloverleaf Farm because he needed a pre-fix or farm name for the dairy cattle registrations. He named it that because he found so many 4-leaf-clovers out here and he-s not even Irish. :haha: DH kept the farm name when they switched from Guernsey cattle to Holsteins. Since we sold all the dairy cattle its sort of nostalgic. We just have plain ol beef cattle now.

About Thistlewaites -- there-s a family named that back home, and also Thistlewaite falls

I've been wanting to name our little place for a while.
I want a name I can take if we move. (eventualy we will
be invaded and surrounded by a 460 lot mobile home park)
I like "Wild Sycamore" for the single sycamore tree by the
lap pile.
I also liked "Evergreen Acres" and thought the Evergreen
would fit well into a name of a homeschool. I'd like to have
them use the same name.
My hubby likes "Happy Cluckers Farm", because our chickens
have not a care in the world.
I'd like to have a name to stamp on the egg cartons and use
if we decided to expand or move on.

This place is called Freeloader Farm. Our new place is called Trickle Creek. It was once part of a larger ranch called Triple Creek and since only one of the creeks is on our land and so far hasn't had much water in it we call it Triple Creek.

The only 2 story ones I have seen are really stables. 1 story plus a hay loft.
