WHATS IN A NAME?

This is the story of how we chose a name for our Florida Villa.....

When we finally paid the deposit on our Florida dream Villa in Orlando near to the world famous Disney, we were trying to find a name suitable for it, as it would also be the name for our Website.

We tried every combination possible - Dream Villa, Sunshine, Tuscan Palms, Orange Tree, Vacation 4U, Golf Paradise .... but most of the good names were already taken by owners who had no doubt been through the same process as us!

It was eventually my elderly mother that came up with the answer. We were sitting having coffee one Sunday morning, when in walked our Labrador dog "Max". We were now desperate to find a suitable name for our Villa and had a copy of the Oxford English dictionary and a map of Florida out on the table to try and provide us with some inspiration. With one swipe of his tail Max sent the coffee flying all over the map and papers we had spread out on the coffee table.

“I know” said Mother “call your Villa Floridamax”. The name sounded good, the website name was available - so we named our Villa after our DOG !!
