We've been thinking of names for our land for a while now. Our oldest son shouts out "Pickle Bush" when we're driving there and we've finally realized that he thinks these pines look like pickles. So funny! Ashley said Pickle Bush Farms doesn't have quite the ring to it so we're still thinking. Naming land is a family tradition, especially on Ashley's side where they actually have farms (Hickory Knoll Farms and Arrowhead Farms). My parents named their little mountain Mitchell's Fief to go with our Scottish heritage.
Other names we're considering for our homestead: Hickory Hill, Pine Ridge, Sparkleberry Farm, Persimmon Hill Farm, Sandclay Hill and Hilltop Farm. The first four have to do with what is already growing on the property; Sandclay represents the soil composition (Gilbert sits on the division of where South Carolina's soil is sandy and clay); and Hilltop...well, we are building a house on the hill!
We welcome your thoughts!
Love your new home. We are looking at the same design. The idea of naming your land is a great one and I am partial to Sandclay Hill because it refers to the land itself. Enjoying watching your progress!
ReplyDeleteI like Sandclay Hill as well. Has a nice ring. Actually, I like all of the names. My parents would be happy to hear you are naming it...they LOVE naming homes. Their house on the lake that they live in now is called "Southwind." They have a sign at the driveway to prove it!
