Genuine question:

If I go to Officeworks and get a sign printed with the name "Bob" and put it on my letterbox, does that become the name of my house?


Traditionally the name went on the house.

The post man delivered the letters to the householder, there was no letter box. This was in a time before phones, letters were the main form of communication .. in populated areas letter delivery could take place twice a day.

    Whilst I was out surveying today I stumbled upon a building that
    had a street number but also a house name, as just above the
    entrance and door number it said Rivenhall. Now the question is
    should this be tagged as the name or addr:housename? I know the
    latter is common in the UK though I couldn't find anything about
    best practice in Australia.
