In rural districts it is very rare for a house to have a number, instead it has a name. In the town in the UK where I currently live, maybe 30% or more of houses have ONLY a name. Perhaps some of those 30% had numbers once, but if they did nobody uses them or knows them now. I'm pretty certain that one a street around the corner from me, half of the houses could never have had numbers: the numbering sequence and the age of various houses shows this https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/52.08491/-4.65782 8/Caerhuan and 9/Homeleigh on Napier Street are much more recent than any of the other houses on Napier Street (with the exception of Y Gorlan, which probably replaced some earlier building). Housename may be useless where you live but for some of us it is essential. -- Paul
