Yesterday I came across a house that was named 'Vijaya Villa'. In kannada those words mean there is no victory although the word 'villa' in english means 'residence'(Brit).
I remember my father telling me about usage of such words, for eg: a house that's named 'Ananda Villa' - which also means 'there's no joy'!!
We had named our house in Chennai, 'Ananda', but no villa...
I heard that a famous kannada actor's house is called 'Summane'. This has reference to the song by Purandaradasaru that says, 'Allide namma mane, illibande summane'...Very thoughtful!
My cousin said there is a bungalow in Dharwad that's called 'Eka Bilva'. Offering of a bilva leaf pleases Lord Shiva.
The most popular name for a house must be 'Anugraha'. Someone I know calls his house 'Santrupti'. That's very wise.
I think I will call my home 'Sukha-Samruddhi'
