Do you have a house name for your place in spain?
Ours is "La Alacena" because that is just about how big it is.
We were going to call it "La Conejera" (Rabbit Hutch) and had even bought the little ceramic tiles, when someone pointed out it also meant brothel. Luckily we only had to go back for an L and 2 A's so it wasn't a complete disaster.
What are yours called and why ?

P.S. If anyone wants to call their house ORJE, I've got the tiles.

Surely if you want a foreign name, to sound romantic, you should call it something in English? Most of the attempts at Spanish are dubious in their accuracy anyway - the sometimes seen "Casa Bonita Vista" instead of "Casa Vista Bonita" etc, and the poor grammar of "Los Golandrinas" - no idea on gender, some folk!
