I so love it when houses have names. BUT I don’t care for corny names like “Fantasea”, “Seaduction”, or "Vitamin Sea”. I’d like to find some of those beach house owners and ask “can you not think of anything more creative then ‘Island Daze’ or ‘Reel Lucky' or 'Seas the Moment’? Is this all you can come up with for your real estate business venture????”
We’ve discussed changing the name of 10 Cuttin Sage. I mean, the name of the house is it’s address and that’s a little boring. Here’s what we’ve come up with so far:
Are We There Yet?
Hull of a House
Sandy Cheeks
Bodo’s Retreat (a problem because Bodo, the Golden Retriever is not going back to the beach ever again)
Salmon Again?
The Tackle Box
Obviously, we can’t come up with anything better than anyone else.
I thought of the name “Dove Cottage” because mourning doves have a special significance for me. There is a dove that has nested outside my bedroom window for the past two springs. I love to hear her melancholy cooing in the mornings. I felt God sent her to me to remind me that He is always there, never changing. He often uses creatures in nature to speak to me to teach me things about Him. I think “Dove Cottage” is a great name for a small, quaint, gray cottage on an island canal.
So, of course, nobody else liked it.....
My redheaded younger daughter, who has a redheaded older sister and a redheaded mother (yes me, but I cheat now) thought of the name “Ginger Bred House”. Well, I just thought that was hilarious and very creative and I was ready to go out and have a sign made up but, of course, everyone else thought it was ......too corny.
On our previous trips to Ocracoke, before we bought our cottage, we stayed in “Morningstar Cottage” and one year, in “Dad’s Retreat”. In fact, we stayed in Dad’s Retreat with my dad the last time we ever went to the beach with him before he passed away. Delightful name and great memories!
I guess it’s best to just keep things the way they are. After all, we don’t want to lose renters over a name change. And then how in the world can a family of 4 (3 of them women) ever agree on a name???????
