It's up to you! Below is a list of all the house names the readers have submitted. Let me know which ones you like the most. I've heard from the house-builders that they are somewhat leery of using blue in the title just because what if they want to paint it another color down the road. Keep that in mind. Also, as you can see, we have more pictures today. Shout out to my photographer. I think we're in the home stretch.
1. 7 West [isnt the house 7 doors west of hewes? if it's 6, then scratch it because 6 doesnt have the ring of 7.]
2. Aisling House [Aisling means dream in Gaelic]
3. Azure
4. Blueberry Hill

5. Blue Monday
6. Blue Bayou
7. Bonnie Blue Bungalow
8. Casa Cassady
9. Cassady Casa
10. Easter House (better holiday than Thanksgiving, which is for the 'yang-kees'; plus will be the first true holiday celebrated there; also, good for the color and a general sign of being a grateful person)
11. Fema Trailer
12. Katrina's Offspring
13. Maison Bleu
14. My Blue Heaven
15. Paddy's Pad (better if painted green)
16. Paint It Blue
12. Katrina's Offspring
13. Maison Bleu
14. My Blue Heaven
15. Paddy's Pad (better if painted green)
16. Paint It Blue
17. Take Two
18. Tangled Up In Blue
19. Cois Dara (the i has the Gaelic slant over it) ...classic Irish house name. roughly translates to "Coast Oak Tree", which is kind of weird, but could be good for a house on second street. plus the gaelic is so pretty, who cares what it translates to. i'm not really sure how to pronounce celtic/gaelic words, but i bet we could find out exactly how to say it.
20. Second 626 Second
22. Second Heaven
23. True Blue
24. TWO BLUE
25. Monkey Hill [the highest point in new orleans is monkey hill in the audubon zoo]
26. Waterproof
27. Top O' the Hill [this is actually the name of a bar in chapel hill, but since the house is on a man-made hill of sorts, i thought it worked...]
28. Strawberry Fields [beatles, obviously]
29. Octopus's Garden [since the garden of the octopus is IN the sea and this house is BY the sea, then i thought why not... i was on a beatles thing]
We will also happily accept more suggestions.

Sal,
It's just too,too hard to narrow it down to one fav. I am voting for three, and I think you should have a run-off vote.
On the assumption that one can vote for his own entry, my first choice would be Casa Cassady.
If the Cassadys don't want to advertise their name to all who pass, my second choice is Second Heaven. (Get it? Second choice, Second Heaven)
However, I do like the Irish for Oak House, pending its pronumciation. Do passers-by on Second Street have that level of sophistication that would allow for an appreciation of such a scholarly title?
You do a wonderful job on your blogs. I look forward to them. I so enjoyed getting to see everything--makes it so much clearer in my mind. A blueprint just doesn't do it for me!!
I know you are busy with preparations for the Conference this weekend. I had given up on getting a new blog until it is over. I hope it all goes well.
I will send your much-belated birthday present by the next person headed that way.
Much love,
Your aunt with the Coke machine
I like Home Sweet Home or Chez Ami (one of my favorite lines of clothing).

Dear Sal,
Not to be a busybody, but I thought Sue told me that her friend had submitted "Azure Like It." That might change my vote.
Please advise,
Your "Coke" aunt
We have a late entry from Don
