Our place is called Lunalushede Covenstead, as Lunalushede is the name of our coven, and this is where it, well, steads.

I don't know. I've got a sticky roller in one hand and a cat brush in the other seems. They take over my bed, they try to trip me in the hall. * sigh *

In rural New England, a house is generally know by the name of the previous owner.
So Jones buys a house from Smith, and lives there for 50 years... it's still the Smith place. When he sells the house, it becomes the Jones place. Sounds strange, but you know what, it works.

OK, then I live in the Lykins place. Hm, something to think about.

Wouldn't it be more fitting to call it by the people who built it? There's a semi-romantic story around it; supposedly it was built by a hard-working Irish farmer by the name of Patrick (has a street nearby named after his brother) who couldn't read or write, but could build a house. And I gotta say, he sure built one heckuva house - nothing's plumb, but it's STRONG.

I never realized it before, but you are absolutely right.
