<p>Genuine question:</p>
<p>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?</p>

<p>Traditionally the name went on the house. <br>

<p>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. <br>

<div>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.</div>
