Naming your property

Our property came with a name in the original Real Estate advertisement. It wasn't anything fancy and was more of a descriptive word of the property to reel in us buyers!

I have recently read on the internet that having a name for your property adds value and gives it it's own identity. Neighbouring properties will call your property by its name. "Down at The Meadows", "old Jack from Clearview", "Bella Blu is selling of some bales".

So with all this time we have had during this extended settlement period, the name given to the property by the real estate agent just became old and boring to us. It's become like calling a Spotty dog, Spot. "Hidden Valley" was the name given but it's just not the name WE gave it.

Some ideas on how people name their properties:

*A non common surname

*A home town or farm from abroad

*An early childhood farm or camp memory

*A developed brand of their own company

*A combination of family names

*A favourite flora/fauna
*A catchy play on words "Ewesful Farm"

Just to name a few....

I think finally when we settle I will give our land a naming ceremony with its own bottle of champagne broken over the front gate (not serious, I couldn't waste good champagne!) And have a sign made for the front gate in the remaining time before we settle.
So our property name we have chosen is:

"Amaroo"
Aboriginal Meaning: beautiful place.
