My friends are into naming their houses. Usually with shared houses. Ends up being convenient to refer to a house by name when three or four of your friends live there.

The Kitten Shack: the first one I knew of, so-called because the local outdoor cats loved their yard, IIRC.

Madison Mansion: it was on SE Madison.

Chris's Wayward Home for Boys and Girls: Chris owns the house and rents out the bedrooms to an ever-changing bunch of friends.

Little Pink: There's a building downtown that's a bank headquarters, and it's frequently called Big Pink because it's, well, big...and pink. Little Pink is also pink but just a house.

The Crow's Nest: The guy who owns the house just really likes crows. Poor guy made the mistake of ordering a custom messenger bag with a crow on it...just as that Portlandia sketch about "put a bird on it" came out. Oops.

So when I knew that [livejournal.com profile] pearlzenith and Kate were moving in, I wanted to name the place. I tossed around a bunch of variations that included the word "fangirl" in it somewhere, but on a silly whim a few nights after they moved in, we decided on Casa de Fancy Pants instead. We even started a tumblr.
