I know this is a strange request but i had to ask you all a favour.
I need to come up with a unique name form my dream house.
My mother has collected these tokens for me to enter a compation to win an apartment al i have to do is come up with what i would call my dream house. I'm a bit stuck as all i can think of is the obvious ones that i'm sure many people will submit. So if you could help me come up with a name i would really appriciate it!
Hope you can all help me!

Idyllic Refuge?
The Angels' Lair?
Homeric Idyl? (this is maybe too farfetched a wordplay)
Hasslelessness (I like the way this one sounds, slithering as a serpent)
My Eden?
Most of what I can come up with involves 'heaven', maybe I'm not that creative as to come up with a suitable name. Good luck with that, Niahm!

Heorot is an obvious one, but any of Tolkein's variations thereon would do nicely as well.

what about Pemberly? (I like this thread. I've always wanted to name a house since I read Anne of Green Gables.) Speaking of which, what about Green Gables?
BTW, I LOVED DunSi.
