Name Contest
Heehee. no we aren't pregnant, yet. ha.
we want to name our house.
There have been some ideas tossed about already, but i'd like to hear your creativity blossoming on the page.... whatever we choose as a name will be painted (by sue) on a plaque, or carved in it by dave.
so far we have considered "peace and joy" in the native tongue (dutch) . However, we are unsure of whether we want all our guests Spitting on our house as they attempt to pronounce it. *ahem* If you are not dutch, please visit a friend's relatives during a meal. very amusing. :)
For those of you that have not seen our home, we have painted it all varying shades of green and brown. So it feels like walking through a forest as you wander the rooms. :)
Okay, ready??? NAME! PLEASE give us your thoughts, brainwaves, and silly comments.

How about something futuristic like "Gattica" or....
post-modern like "The Place" or "House" or...
"Sherwood Forest" in honor of Robin Hood....
or something realistic like "Funny Farm" or "Loonie Bin"?
just some ideas...hope you pick one of them of I'll be seriously offended.
hahahahaha. thanks sarah. :)
hmmmmmmm.....good thought provoking ideas....
:)
Hmmm, this sounds like fun, but seriously, house naming is a serious business. I suggest the following, and will also be highly offended if you don't pick one:
"Gates of Gondor"
"Dave's Pizzaria"
"Green Eggs and Kale"
"Ole Bole Haven"
"Doorway to the Abyss"(compliments of cousin Carly amidst hilarious laughter and rolling on the floor)
"House Haunted by Live Nauslings"
"Dave of Green and Brown Gables"
"Road to Sue and Dave"
"The Green Thing from the Lagoon"
or my personal favourite,
"Dutch Occupation" -Cookie and Tea House
I don't know Sue, we'll have to think about the one.It's just too spur of the moment. I am rather partial to Sarah's first suggestion. However, I think, in her post-natal stupor, she has misspelled Galactica.
priceless ideas from anti and carli!!
and yes to the post-natal stupor. my personal faves are Ole Bole Haven and Dutch Occupation. you have quite the decision ahead of you!!
I must apologize for my moment of immaturity...oh if I could turn back the hands of time...forgive me...
wow. this is tough...i mean...i love the Dutch Occupation...but i think the war reference in this area may be toooo touchy... (it was my fav though)
and Green Eggs and kale is awesome...Road to sue and dave...Loonie bin....
hmmm..
this is tough.
How about a unique name combining the house owner's names...
Dasunaus.
allow me to break it down:
DAve SUe NAUS
DA SU NAUS
Dasunaus!!!
Nauslings, I think that is a fine name...
I think the name of your house should represent not just the house, but the wonderful people living in it. The people who bring such joy to many lives. The feeling you get when you walk into your home, the welcome, friendly feeling. Its always been just like comming home
heeheehee. thanks for all the ideas...we'll accept them for a while...since we procrastinate on these smaller items of home-li-ness.
keep 'em coming.
thanks folkies.
As much as you may have expected something wickedly creative coming from our neck of the woods, I have to say I really like "Nauslings". I think it's personal, approacble, and a little zany, like you guys. You could always spice it up a little with "Nausling Corner" or "Caution: Wild Nauslings" or even "Nausling Presevation Habitat". Oo! Or you could use the word Society! That's always fun! "The Society for propriety and silliness" It even rhymes!
Okay,and whatever you have, it should have a hilarious "warning" in small print on the bottom. "Warning: Prolonged exposure to Nauses may result in Ole Bole!" or "Watch for falling placenta".
For a literary flare, you might consider a sign that simply reads "Sanders", in honour of that delight yellow bear who lives in the hearts of all children.
Just remember: wood-burnt signs = cabins and will enevitably lead to astro-turf, and Drift wood signs are only allowed on Beach house in movies where two would-be loners find the path to their hearts after fighting it for the majority of the film. Ick.
Also, please avoid terms which, while funny, may not leave a nice mental picture, i.e. Ad Nauseam.
So, in conclussion, it should say something about you and something about the direction you want your home to take. Thus "Chattering Willows" might reference your home, your love of nature, and your tendancy towards vibrant conversations, while "Naus on wood" might be funny but not overly meaningful in the long run. Then again, who doesn't like beavers?
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
oooh man. we can always count on you two crazies.. thanks guys! :) (by the way, the term 'crazies' coming from me, in the humor i am in just now is a good word, a compliment. heehee)
