Yes where I grew up in NE PA houses had names. Our house never had a number

Same for us, our house (built in 1938) is often referred to as "The Renee Healy
house" after the original builder/owner. My parents first house was the same
but I can't remember the guy's name.

It’s also done around here somewhat. Or was in the old days. My great
grandparents place back in the day was called Green Acres. This was used
sometimes here with larger more prominent properties.

On reflection, the naming of "cottages" was probably a rural thing, as houses
in the country were not numbered on a street.
Everyone knew who lived where, so naming the house, cottage, manse etc. was a
conventional way of indicating which home belonged to whom.
YMMV.
