I need a farm name!

[BreathEasy]

Hi! My husband and I are in escrow on a little mini-farm in Versailles, KY. So fingers crossed if we get through escrow, we’ll have a little farm and we really need a farm name. We are both coming up completely blank, or the name we like is already taken by a well known farm!
The property is 4 acres and is up on a slight hill, with a medium pasture and woods in the back. A lot of the farms around us (generally big thoroughbred farms) have English manor style names, and I’d be happy with something similar. Any ideas?! Names that I like that are taken, or are nearby us:

Wildwood
Airy Mount
Ashford
Tanglewood
Hill Top
Hillshire
RunnyMeade
Lanes End
Riverwood
Coolmoore

I don’t know I am just getting a total blank on a name! Every time we have been scheduled to go to the property it has rained or thundered so I thought Rainwood or Raintree, but I already know a Raintree back in CA where I’m from and Rainwood isn’t quite right. Suggestions? Help!

I like incorporating Rain into it since it has a memory

Rain Meadow
Thunder Hill

Or tying in the topography (hill and woods):

Wildacres
Forest Hill
Rolling Meadow

I think once you move in and live there for awhile, the right name will come to you.

I agree, you’ll know in your heart…

Are you going to keep it a mini farm (is it a small farm or farm for minis?)
If the latter maybe something to do jesting about the minis amidst the big TBs

Tempest something…farm, acres, meadows etc.

@Unfforgettable

Rainhill

That one is interesting, easy to say and remember, with a kind of pensive feeling to it.

I think that name would fit nicely between big, classy TB farms.

Mini farm as in 4 acres is a tiny “farm” in Kentucky. It would have been a respectable size back where I’m from in CA! Out here it hardly even qualifies as a hobby farm until you hit 30 acres lol!

Thanks for all the inspiration, maybe it will come to me what is right once we move in.

Clover Hill Farm. What kind of trees in your forrest? Oak Hill Farm or Hickory Hill Farm might work.

Enchanted Forest or Misthaven

I like Rainhill. Not pretentious.

Have to agree with StGermain, I’d run away from the “to the manor born” kind of names, especially for a small farm. My impression, fair or not, is that the owner wants to impress me, rather than welcome me in by expressing something personal/genuine. (And no matter what, please don’t add a random “e” to words to make them seem more fancy. :lol: I grit my teeth when I see stupid stores call themselves “shoppes”)

So, think about what you are like, what makes you both smile. Do you have a favorite horse, let’s say Dobbin, you want to immortalize in your farm’s name? Dobbin Farm, Dobbin’s Hill, Dobbin’s Rest,

How about “Sunshower Farm” - recalls the rain but has a cheerful quality too.
Shady Hill
Cloud’s Break Farm
Fun Puddle Farm (I know, it’s absurd but it’s cracking me up and I now want to name my farm this. But then I’m the type who mocks the Airy Manor type names so that’s just how I roll. Can’t you picture an awesome Fun Puddle barn logo??

A friend here, in NC, named her small farm “Clear View” because it was also 4 acres and she had a clear view of the entire farm from her windows.

Something to think of: Will the name ‘stay with the farm’ when you move? If so, a name that relates to the land, itself, is good. But if the name of the farm will ‘go with you’ (I have been ‘Sterling Ridge’ for 40 years — from coast to coast and north to south – everywhere I go, I keep the name (it makes buying tack trunks and stall curtains much easier ) then pick a name you like; one that will fit wherever you live in the future.

Another thing to consider: Do you want to be XXXXX Farm or XXXXX Stable? I went with neither – My farm name is just plain “Sterling Ridge”

château du cheval (castle of the horse)

palais du cheval ( palace of the horse)

ferme de quatre acres (four acres farm)

maison de chevaux (house of horses)

Maybe this is too obvious: Rainbow Farm or Rainbow Ridge, etc.??

I’m deleting my orig. comment that was here. When I read the above in the humorous light it was intended, it’s clear my my umbrage was misplaced.

OP - If you took my humor the same way HH did, I sincerely apologize. I was going off the spirit of your post #10.
