A reader favorite on Apartment Therapy are the House Tours that editors put up daily. For us, one of the hardest parts about doing a House Tour is naming it. We want the name to represent the style of the house, the homeowner's personality and the unique finds in the home yet it also should roll off the tongue. We have a few of our favorite AT House Tour names but we'd love to know--if your home were an AT House Tour feature--what would your House Tour name be?
Let's hear it AT readers--what's your House Tour name?

I'd eschew the name for tags that would make House Tours searchable based on decor characteristics (high ceilings, MCM, minimalist, etc.)
Lori & Ira's Love Shack
Trish's Itty Bitty Digs
Jess & Scott's imaginary lair - which would at some point change to Jess & Scott's real steal - as soon as we can find ourselves a house to buy!
JP's finally-out-of-the-rent-race co-op. (Fingers crossed -- the co-op board has to approve first... hopefully within the month, I'll own my first apartment!)
No idea but damn I would love to live in any of the places featured in those photos!
Aaron and Amanda's Sponge Worthy Home (as in Design Sponge!)
SHANNON'S MONEY PIT
Hollie and Renato's cat oasis (our landlords cut holes in the doors for the cats, long before we moved in)
House of Horrors
Brian's Ivory Tower
Syd's Beachy Haven.
Modern vintage mismatched mismash!
Simon.
"Alison's Playhouse". I have more toys/gadgets/electronics than is generally acceptable for a serious adult to own. Sort of a cross between a 14-year-old boys dream crib and an artists studio. It's working for me. :)
I would say, if you did my place, it's be John's airy eclectic modern...
Chez Shoes' Tiny Nest. It's only 300 square feet!
Lily's Love Lair.
Just kidding.
I dunno, I kind of like "Lily's Love Lair"; it rather rolls off the tongue...
Not sure what I'd name my house tour as I just moved in last weekend and there are still many boxes left. Maybe "The Fort" or "The Fortress", as it has concrete floors and ceiling.
Bungalow in the Barrio
er...
House in the Hood
er...
Reno in the Ghetto
Tia's Nerdy Nest
Seriously! I have proposed freeway maps of LA from the 40's and 50's up as decoration in the hall and a couple of game consoles with the flat panel in the living room to go with the laptop that travels around the apartment. If that's not enough, the sci-fi novels and the natural history of the screw probably push it over the edge.

Lilli´s happy scandinavian work-in-process...
eclectic avenue!
I once lived in a house we called, and still refer to retrospectively as, "Spider Central" - unfortunately not because of any deco feature, but because it seemed to be on some kind of arachnid ley-line :O
Dammit, Tia stole my name XD
Given that my room is currently decorated with maps (both of Earth AND Mars), old scientific equipment, encyclopaedias (hey, they're colourful AND informative!), chemical models, stuff gathered from overseas, print-outs from an old book on the future, and the occasional Doctor Who reference, not to mention a whole lot of Ikea... how about...
