I don't know what to suggest, not really knowing the property. The place I live is called after the historic name of our house, and it IS terribly handy to have a name associated with it.linniewhttp://linniew.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-472066924589276730.post-12646557593427683682013-07-24T09:12:05.422-07:002013-07-24T09:12:05.422-07:00A neat idea.

Ranches, on the other hand, always have names which are then incorporated into cattle brands or sometimes vice versa. We lived quite close to the EP ranch.
