[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 429802, member: 57984"] I always wanted BIG VALLEY to have a name for the estate (like "the Ponderosa") just like I've always wanted DYNASTY's Carrington estate/mansion to have a name (like "Southfork"). Unfortunately, both "Ponderosa" and "Southfork" were already taken. I just don't like the non-descript anonymity of "The Barkley Ranch" of "The Carrington Mansion." Years ago, I came up with a name for both. I made a three-column list of nouns/adjectives that meant something snowy/wintry, something treelike endemic to Colorado, and something that described a religious edifice... Eventually, I had to eliminate the snowy/wintry column, so the title for the Carringtons' house and estate would be too lengthy... I settled on "Cedar Abbey" (well before DOWNTON ABBEY was a thing). And I still like it. Imagine hearing denizens of Denver refer to "Cedar Abbey" nearly as often as the dudes 'n' dames of Dallas referred to "Southfork"?
