Hi all. We were wondering just what to call ourselves? Something that we will live in, sell as a business name, and later to inspire!

How did you come by your places names? What was the inspiration?


nelly.

[bramblebasher]

Mine was Willow Hill Farm, it's on a hill, there's willows growing and it's a farm.... It just came to me in a flash of inspiration. 

[Tom Bombadil]

Currently, using your logic, mine could be called 'Sheep Pooh Boot hill'!

 

In truth, we have nout at the mo!

A name will come to you when you least expect it.    Our name  ( Trufffles) arrived because we was given a hazel tree inoculated with truffles and i added an f so a google search would be more fruitful.   We plan to  call it 'Trufffles Homestead '  in a few years.

we have a hill…in fact most of it is a hill  so we have added to the name, Hillside produce 

you say you have an old quarry….maybe you could add that into your name..bla bla quarry farm produce

[Tom Bombadil]

'Shadowlands' after my dearest first pony Shadow who I had for 21 yrs until her death. After months of delays we finally completed on the purchase of the land on the 8th of April which was the date I had bought her 27 years earlier.

I didn't end up using this method, but I did intend to:

Look up historical maps, there are plenty on the internet and find some historical feature on the land that is long gone and name it after that.

Or the name of the quarry - it may have had one.

You'll have to choose between a 'normal' name, which I guess might be reassuring, or name for marketting purposes.


Remmeber your company can have a different name 'Pizazz Foods Ltd, Home Farm, Wales'


And : just to derail the thread a little - you can inocuulate Hazel with truffles? cool!

   His land is in Wales.   There must be dozens of farms with names like that.

[shepie]

There are plenty with more than just 8words in like that !!!

What about Quarry Hill Farm?

[adrian007]

Old Quarry Farm?

or what was the name of the quarry?

Manor Quarry Farm...

Oh - do I get the impression the quarry is at the bottom of hill and the fields all above it? Quarry Top Farm?
