hubfd Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Hello I'm renovating a beacon hill in french style. I'm searching a 'new' name for my home. Something like ... Manor, .....Hall, ... Park... Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Wait until more of the house gets done and let it tell you what name it wants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeB Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Since it is a French style, why not use a French word, such as Maison or Chateau - along with another word that could be a place or family name or a descriptive adjective? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khadi Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I vote for chateau. Have you watched Escape to the Chateau or Chateau DIY on Peacock? I think they may also be on HGTV. Both shows are about people renovating old French chateaus. They are great for inspiration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Huberine, finish the house the way you've begun and you could name it Belle Voir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubfd Posted January 25, 2023 Author Share Posted January 25, 2023 Maybe I should go for Chateau... indeed. I just really like the way of living in England in the 19th century, so I imagined my house build in England. But it's just because I don't know anything about living in French that time. Probably it's quite similar... And I've always loved French chateaus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodentraiser Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 (edited) I'll pop in if I think of a good name, but don't expect miracles from me. I named the cat I'm adopting Pita. Because she is. You know what, a trip to the library to check out a French dictionary might give you some good ideas. And I always wanted to have my kennel name as du Flambeau. And if you wanted to use that name, I wouldn't mind a bit. I was just informed you were French, so excuse my stupidity about the dictionary. This is what happens when I don't get my 2nd breakfast or elevenses. Or my old person nap. Is it du Flambeau or de la Flambeau?

I live in Belgium where we have two parts, one part speaking dutch and one part speaking french, and I speak dutch... So the dictionary was actually a good idea 😉. But as far as my french knowledge goes, I do can tell you that it is du flambeau haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Aha, my bad, your name looked tres francaise a moi, and I assumed. If all else fails, there's always Belle Chose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more I look to it, the more I'm sure it will definitely be a 'chateau'!. I even came up this week with the idea I want to expand my 'chateau'. So now I'm searching for a second beacon hill. I want to expand it with a right side (looking from the front), so that it's not only one slice of the house, but it's an L shape 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodentraiser Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 That sounds like a huge undertaking. I can't wait to see it finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
