a place with a name

[nibot]

This house needs a name. What should we name it?

• If we were soul-less copycats, we'd call it Fort Awesome.

• someone suggested "wallabee"

• "43 westview" is the street address (boring)

• if we found something with the initials "CZ" I could use one of my neon signs here!

• I want to name a house after Buckminster Fuller (BuckyHouse?) and/or to name one "Ant Farm II" (after Ant Farm, duh), but not this one.

• ...

I want to get a big California flag to hang out front. Oh, sure, Micah and Vijay would protest, but we Californians have a plurality here! I see lots of polyester flags on ebay, but it seems that canvas is more proper.

California is an imperialist colonizing power! It must be fought!

Yes, definitely use the initials CZ!
(Obviously, the C will have to be for Casa, to reinforce the Californi-istic Imperialist trend.) (And, just as obviously, (Brano would never forgive you) Czech (CZ) is out.)

Now to think of an alternate word with a Z. Sorry, my Spanish is WAY too limited to help you out.

But, I will think on this..... Let me get out the 48 pound dictionary and turn to the z'zzz.

1st thought: Casa Zima -- Cold House or Winter House
Zima means cold in Slovakian

first find in the dictionary : zingaro : Italian for gypsy.

There's a lot of truth in that one.

I nominate making the Z word "zamboni" -- then you all have to make good on your title and drive around the ice-covered streets in them.

OK, you'll probably accuse me of overzealousness, but here is the best of the Z section:
Zapapta: Mexican revolutionary and agraian reformer
Zeeman : Dutch physicist, Nobe prize, 1902 (Pieter)
Zernike: Dutch physicist, Nobel 1953
Zermelo: German mathematician

Two of some questionable significance:
zwiterion: an ion that can go either + or -
zygote: hmmmmm

and my vote goes for:
Zaddikim: (Hebrew) person of outstanding virtue and piety.

Casa Zsa Zsa!

I have a big CA flag that you can have. Bought it on ebay. It doesn't make sense why someone wouldn't want a CA flag on their house. Are they terrorists? Where is their patriotism?

Casa Zenith
Casa Zilch
Casa Zero
Casa Z++

What is that Israeli word Tobin says they use over there (Israel) for everything, which means "big mess" or confusion?
