I have just read through a whole thread about how people came up with their farm name and it has inspired me to finally come up with a name for our farm. I am doing this as a poll as I'd like to get feedback on what appeals to the most people. If you feel like commenting as to why you chose your answer, I'd appreciate it. Or better yet, if a name springs to mind that is not on the list, please suggest it - I am still very open to suggestions and don't lean towards any of the names in the poll over the others, at this point.

How I came up with the names in the poll: We live on 10 acres in a region that was originally prairie, and where it is windy more days than it is not. Our pasture has a good-sized pond in the middle of it and the whole property is bordered on the west side by a hedge row made up primarily of Osage Orange, otherwise known as hedge wood (the "fruit" that grows on it are large balls called "hedge apples" that are consumed eagerly by horses and squirrels but not much else). We are raising chickens, turkeys, muscovies, Boer goats, Hair sheep and a large organic veggie garden. We plan to start an orchard this year.

Thanks to those who have voted so far but the results are tied. Anyone else want to weigh in and see if I can get a clear winner? Please???

I voted so I can't help here but I am curious how you say your username and how you came up with it. :)
LOL. I have a program called Splash ID on my computer that stores all my passwords. Kind of like a vault, so I only have to remember one password to get into the vault. Anyway, I recently updated my computer so had to install Splash on the new computer and only then realized it has an option to generate a password for you. You can set whether you need a capital letter, numeral or special character, and how long you want the password to be, and it generates it for you. Brilliant! And THEN I noticed it will also generate anything else you want. So when I was trying to come up with a unique user name for the forum, I turned to Splash and asked it to generate me a name. The only thing I asked was that it be "pronounceable". Each time I clicked "generate" it gave me a new list of 8-10 names and I just kept going until I found one I sorta liked.

I voted for Osage Acres Farm. We have those trees here in east Texas, only we call them Bois d'arc .......and being Texans......we corrupted the French pronunciation into bodark. Boe-DARK Dunno know how to speak French anyway.... :lol:

Thanks Baymule - how funny - I have never heard them called that before. It gives me another option for Farm name LOL. Bodark Farm. Heh. I actually kinda like it. Especially because, around here, it would be very obtuse since I doubt most people would have heard that name used.

I hadn't checked the results in quite awhile and now see there is another tie. Hmmm…..would love a few more votes.

I love the story about how you came up with your username! Every time I see it, I think of that "King of the Hill" episode where they took the boys on an 'order of the straight arrow' camping trip and they kept calling on 'wematanya'.

I would have a hard time choosing a farm name (I don't have one yet). How about Prairie Wind Farm? Bodark is cute too though...

Do a google search to find farms in your area. That will give you an idea of what names to stay away from. You want something unique.
