I would be glad to not have Pierre Tremblay's full name in our title.  That has been worrying me a little.  Since Chez Tremblay is the overwhelming favorite of almost everybody who has opined, I cast my support to it.

Exactly, that's why "Tremblay Brokies" is better.  It is an accurate description of who is here and where they came from, who members are.  Brokies.  But a certain *group* of Brokies.

Yup.  Pronounced "shay" translated means house (in the possessive sense).  So Chez Nicole would be Nicole's house.
Actually, it means "at -----'s [place]" so "at Chez Tremblay" is a tautology that makes my hackles rise.
"Maison Tremblay" would be Tremblay House, which I would vote for it were being offered from scratch, but Chez Tremblay is too well established now. Let's stick with it.

How about El Rancho Tremblay?

Or Pierre's Cow and Calf Operation?

Or That Place in Dubois?

Riverton's Brokies sound too much like a team of smoke jumpers.

How about: The Knife and ForkPokey Little Place?  Islands of the Sea?

EDITED TO ADD:  Lightning's Flat

Or Chez Tremblay...hey, that's got a nice sound!

Chez Tremblay works for me.

But other suggestions are:

Trembaly County Paranoia Rehab Clinic

Pierreside Troll Slayer Retirement Village[/tt]

The Vic & Ell Happy Farm

Mecca

.....or maybe Chez Tremblay!

Hi - just dropping by for a minute...

Chez Tremblay works for me.

Trembaly County Paranoia Rehab Clinic





This might be just right!  The name has already been changed on-line to Chez Tremblay, which makes sense just in terms of popular usage - folks have been informally calling it this for a long time so why not use it?

Phillip - thanks for spending so much time here with everyone as we get used to this new home - whatever it's called.
