It appears that some superstitious folk name their houses because they have unlucky numbers - like 4 or 13 or 22, things that add up to 4 basically it is considered an unlucky number in Chinese because it is nearly homophonous to the word death. I am about to move into a house number 40 soon and though I'm not all that superstitious it actually crossed my mind to name the house instead of a number, like Fore Tee (as I will be living near a golf course) but my wife told me to stop being a twat.
The numbers in the house name would add up to a different number in numerology hence the luckier the house if it has a favourable number, so I can understand why folks name their house on this flimsy evidence but it's all bollocks anyway eh?
- I may call my house Sun Ra after a cat I once had, and it adds up to 19 ie 1+9=10=1 and 19 is my lucky number so WINGardener
