      <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>
    <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>
