tuppence Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Hi,This is my 1st posting in this section so here goes. I have several ceramic letters which I want to make a house name from. At present they would spell out 'THE STABLE COTTAGE' (from my sisters former house). So can all you French speakers and spellers form a French name using these letters for my French house![:)]That should keep you all going for a while! [:D]cheers tuppencep.s Please keep it clean!!!!!

Will Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 As French people don't 'do' house names like the English, it's best to stick to your native language. You can have Castle Beat Ghetto, or perhaps Eat That Select Bog might be more appropriate. On the other hand there is Best Let Goat Cheat (or Teach), while Bog Chattel Estate sounds ideal for a French house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitty Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 TuppenceAs another post said, it's true that the French don't go in for house names. For example, where I live, I don't know of any house that has a name, even though we are in a village in the countryside.I named my French house, Villa Xxxxxxx, after my mother because it was her inheritance that funded the purchase. (But I would rather have my mother back again than the house.) Anyway, I only use the name amongst friends and family in conversation and don't use it in the postal address at all.Thanks for the English and French anagram sites - they've gone into my favourites.

tuppence Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 Well that went down a treat, didn't it? I only wanted to use up the ceramic letters with something that was a leetle beet French if you know what I mean. However, after seeing the results of the anagram sites I think I will stick to 'LA BEST COTTAGE' as I think it is anyway!!thanks for the fun folks[:P]tuppence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cassis Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Maybe they don't do house names, but there are thousands of 'lieux dits', usually a farm or group of buildings. Like our house is called "La Basse Cour" and another house down the road is called "L'Aubepine", another "L'Oisellerie", etc. [quote user="artsole"]but cassis,your not using the grey matter[blink] just the generator 'rushes ouest' is much better[Www][/quote]True. It's mainly gibberish, isn't it? Or maybe it's Breton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
