Cumbrian Culture
Explore the local culture where your property resides and see if you can incorporate it into your property’s name. For example, the Lake District and the North are known for having their own dialect. Terms such as ‘Marra = Friend’ or ‘Yam = Home’ could give your property that extra personal local touch. You can even pick names that may not be wholly transferable but can still be unique. For example, The Yews and Ash are named after common trees found in Cumbria. Other examples are Ghyll Lodge or Mere Brook Lodge both ghyll and mere have Cumbrian connections.
