Exploring the house-naming tradition in Canada's Nova Scotia, Ballard asks what sort of name old Bluenoses created, what those names mean, what if you bought a house with a name you did not like, what if you sold a house with a name you did like and wanted to take it with you, and what cultural associations were connected with the custom. His topics include name continuity, nature's nobility borrowed, the peculiar and unique, wayfinding names, names to impress, and rest and relaxation.
