Naming my "farm".....should it be Farm or Farms?

[klsaxt]

I have just started keeping chickens and will have eggs in a few months. I'd like to sell my extras. I will also be keeping bees next year. In trying to choose a name for my "farm" I have a dilemma. I chose the name of the small town my grandmother is from for the name but when I pair it with the word Farm it sounds kinda silly. When I use the word Farms it sounds a little better. What is the difference between naming your farm "Farm" or "Farms"? I hope that made sense and as insignificant as this sounds it's really bugging me.

I always kind of wondered about that "Farm" vs. "Farms" thing too.

What is the name?

I tend to think "Farm" is best unless you own a bevy of FarmS.

I want to call it Whitmire Farm or Whitmire Farms. My grandmother was from a little town in SC called Whitmire. I wrote names down on paper last night and also thought about--

Whitmire Acres
Whitmire Homestead
Whitmire Cottage Farm

Her name was Velma and I also thought about--

Velma's Farm
Velma's Cottage Farm

Picking the perfect name is really hard!

Why not just "Velmas"

I like Whitmire Farm, Whitmire Cottage Farm or Velma's Cottage Farm.

I researched "naming your farm" (don't mind me, I just tend to do this compulsively) and I found a couple of interesting sites that help you do this:

I think after seeing it in writing and having other's opinion that I actually like Whitmire Farm the best. I guess sometimes you have to have other people tell you for you to decide! Thanks!

Whitmire Farm has a nice ring to it!

Whitmire Farm sounds nice. I'm glad you were able to decide!
