Whats the big deal about picking a farm name????

Ha....its no big deal? Right, right?  How hard could it be to figure out what to name your farm.  Some farms are lucky...they already have names, no need to change it because its probably been named that for hundreds of years, and I heard that changing a farm name is bad luck. 
It seems our farm doesn't have a previous name, at least no one that knows of the people who lived here has said anything to us.  We have had lots of visitors impressed with our undertaking of reviving this old beauty, and no one has mentioned the "name". 
When we first moved in, we had the horses.  Instantly I thought...."Oh, wouldn't Black Horse Farm be a cool name for this place." It was, until our horses had to be sold due to financial difficulty after my husband injured his back.  So now no more Black Horses on our farm.  No more Black Horse Farm.  I figured I might keep the name because who knows I might have another team of shires someday.  But isn't it kinda weird to keep the name when those animals who represented the name are no longer yours?  Shouldn't we think of something else to name the farm?  So now the brain wracking begins....whats a cool name? Has it already been used?  Does it sound cool and catchy?  Would you want to visit a farm with this name?  Oh the joys of figuring out what to name your farm....Its a chore just like shoveling the manure is....and I have a block...NOT for shoveling manure..I wish, but for name this dang place....
My husband says the name will come to me as soon as I am not thinkin to hard about it...I hope that's true...I would hate to stay "No Name Farm" for to long..........
Feel free to suggest suggestions.....
the friendly female farmer.....
