House name, as gaeilge...please?

mashedbanana

I'm not very good at Irish, but would love to name our home as gaeilge.

We have a river across the road, i didn't really want to go for the typical River view, bridge view, or glen view.

I would love to call the house.... 'House by the river', could someone kindly translate?

There is ALOT of wildlife, due to the river, my hubby just suggested 'herrons call'

I'm open to any suggestions btw.

Cois na hAbhann - Beside the river/river side

Acciaccatura

"Cois Abhainn" - Riverside
"Radharc na hAbhainne" (open to correction on the tuiseal ginideach side of it) - Riverview

After that I'm stuck for inspiration But I hope that helps

Caisleán Banana Brúite (mashed banana castle/house)

Caisleán na gCorr -Castle of the herons

Glaoch na gCorr - the call of the herons

Radharc na gCorr - View (Sight) of the herons

You can also use éisc for heron

If I was naming a house I would use

Radharc na héisc

View of the fish (herons implied)


But await more information

Do you know the nname of the river?
You could have cois lí 'beside the Lee' or whatever the river in your area is

Heron (corr éisc) is a bird, not a fish.
