Not far from me is a house that is painted red. Its name is Ty Coch (in less sloppy orthography it would be Tŷ Coch, but it's lost the accent over time). The name has long been Ty Coch. It's Welsh for "Red House." There are a LOT of house names around here that, if they weren't in Welsh, some mapper checking my work would think I'd entered the description rather than the name. I recently mapped an events venue in a converted farm building that calls itself "The Shed" because it's in a large shed. And mapped the building used as a play area for a campsite as "The Barn" because that's what the operators have named it, it just happens to be in what is a Dutch barn. There are a lot of buildings that used to be mills which have names like "White Mill," "Red Mill," "Garnon's Mill," Etc. Be careful not to insist that something cannot be the name of a thing because it also happens to be a description of that thing. People are lazy and have limited imaginations: sometimes the description is used as the name. -- Paul
