Any suggestions appropriate for a fairly large, but cozy home ?

What is the name of your own/parents home in India and do you like it?

Some are family name followed by 'villa'.

Some well-known ones are Aashirwad (Rajesh Khanna's bungalow) or Pratiksha and Jalsa (Amitabh's). I think jalsa roughly translates to party/stage/occasion. Some people I know named their houses similarly - after a feeling, thought or act.

It is easier if the language is identified first. For example, for Hindi, one could go to poetry pages or websites and look in their glossary or dictionary section. It would be like selecting a baby name.

I would go for a rare synonym of dream, wait, journey, peace, joy, miracle, faith...

I always liked "Stolen Heaven" not sure why. There was a bunglow in Khandala (ghat region) which was perched on a mountain surrounded by lush green with this name.

That's a good one. I was just about to suggest Jannat which means heaven, but did not for obvious reasons.

I know someone who named their house devangan (God's porch / home)

I have my parents name like "Father Mother" Nivas...strightforward but I like it a lot. Just stand in front of your house and first words that come to your mind..use that ;)

My choice:
-Madhushala (if there are bevdas in the house) -- bevda ->> drunkard
