As per Glerica's suggestion I've renamed this area to The Village. But surely every village must have a name? Post your suggestions here... |

Bearfalsummernorthyarhamington, pronounced 'Borthon'. (For those of you who don't get the reference: there are two villages in Devon called Woolfardisworthy, pronounced 'Woolsry'.) |

I love Saf’s suggestion, in the spirit of long names I think I simply have to recommend this one: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch |

'Bramblesnap Square' for the cutesey among us 'Glory Fields' for the patriotic 'Gene Honest' for an anagram of Stonehenge 'Dan Glen' or 'And Glen' for an anagram of England. Not great suggestions... but I'm tired, so go away

Does that constitute a double negative? Wouldn't that make it Oldcastle? |

Yup yup, it took a few tries for my tongue to be “flexible” enough though. We challenge each other at family parties, the last one to be able to say it after a night of drinking wins.
Nopies, I don’t think so. |

Pleeeeeease nothing that ends in "ville" The village of Bobb is my favourite so far, the Black Adder reference and also the link to our old currency. It's subtle and humourous. |
