That name, also applies to most everyone on TBN, thank goodness for roman numerals.

We haven't officially named ours yet either, as it's only been "ours" for just about a year now. We've thought of Williams' Farm, after her grandparents who originally bought the land and built the house. However, her uncle and cousin both own adjacent land (parts of the original farm willed to them), and are both named Williams. Smith Farm would be the obvious choice for us, which is probably why we don't like it. A couple of other ideas lately have been The Rock Farm or Music Farm, the latter of which I'm most partial to at the moment, at least until something better comes along.

... and wow, a 15-year-old zombie thread.

I never knew so much could go wrong with a home. But after 3 years of living there I seriously hope I'm on the downhill side of the repairs. I cant take much more.

I don't have a name for my place but I do have a road sign at the entrance that says "Ragged *** Road", found it at a flea market a few years back.

Our little piece of property (4.5 acres) we took to calling Irish Acres as our last name is Murphy and we do have more than one acre We are less than 2 years in and have been raising chickens for eggs for about a year now so Irish Acres is home to Irish Acres Farm. We also have 3 senior dogs who will live out there lives there. We'll probably add a few more hens this spring, but my wife is set on acquiring a mini donkey (cause they're cute).

Dozens of folks for miles around here know our place as "the old Robinson place". Everybody seems to have memories of visiting, playing, or working down here. We don't see any reason to call it anything different except maybe just "the farm".

We did have to come up with names for the "lanes" to go in the 911 system. "Rocky Ridge Ln." for the main driveway, since the water line that runs down the middle of it had to be sawn into solid rock. And "Granny&Pa Ln." for the section that runs to the in-law's cabin.

My place is known locally as the "Old Martin homestead". Originally 360 acres - homesteaded by the Martins in 1892. Government granted homesteads to anybody who would build a permanent residence. These original land grant/homesteads were for the exploration for oil. The only oil anybody has found around this country is what has been accidentally spilled on the ground. My father purchased the last of the original homestead(80 acres) from the Martins in 1939.
