Naming a new Art Deco residential building development

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Art Deco Society of Washington : One Thread

I am struggling to find a suitable name for a new art deco residential building development in Sydney. Where can I find a listing of art deco names that may be suitable for the project ... or does anyone have any suggestions?

My wife suggests Normandie Apartments, - especially if it has a harbour view and has any type of ocean liner feel to it. I do not know of any list but calling places XXX Court seems to be a very Deco thing (- even when there was no Courtyard)

Thank you for the question which made me think.

Try going to 'art deco' on the web trying different servers and your bound to find a suitable name in one of the main art deco sites, or you could name the development after one of art decos architectural desighners, for example,'VAN ALLEN', 'VAL MYRES0,'MATHEW DAWSON',etc, I hope my imformation has been of some use to you.
