Looking for name ideas - exhausted

Casa la borde

I had to go to the edge and google "borde" to look for the joke/wit here. OK, most privileged white guys who are Joneses clientele don't speak much Spanish, but hey..... there are some up and coming entrepreneurs from south of the border. Put in a little airstrip, and make it happen.
 
Convergence is just too big a word.

The Verge.

as in "on the verge" It fits with the Virgin River Gorge, and with the Grand Canyon rim, and with the whole rim of the Great Basin, and with the three deserts, the three mountains, the three canyons, and with the rift geology.

In Nevada, cool "Ranches" have a reputation, and you're damn close to Nevada. "The Virgin Ranch", for example. . . .

The little creek that runs sometimes a trickle sometimes a little brook and rarely a flood, has a useless name.... Santa Clara. Lore has it that the Spanish who named the rivers in the area had their reasons. The Virgin River was a calm river that wound down the valleys flowing north from the Boulder Mountain/Brian Head rim, and the Sevier River was the muddy flash flooding one that flowed southwest into the Colorado. Obviously, the clear little river the Fathers found the most refreshing was the Santa Clara. Mapmakers reversed the names on the other two, but it stuck. why? the "Virgin" was so muddy no one saw it's bottom.

I think you want a Utah sort of ranch, if you use that word in your name. Convergence Ranch. The Ranch idea has some essential connotations, as the usual idea that comes up first is a place in the wild where humans can live and have some fun. But why not "Divergence Ranch", to hit the "jumping off" notion along with the ad value of all that can be found in different directions.

Have you heard of the Bloomington Caves? Ever been there? used to be a thing to go caving there.

Diversity Ranch? I don't like that ence terminus. Reminds me of a local builder?????? People might think Jim Ence is the builder. . . .

Western Hills Ranch would fit the scene, but maybe just sounds ordinary. . . .with that you'd do better with Western Hills Resort. I'd just go towards Trails Ranch or Trails Resort, depending on the exact sense of the place you're building. hummmmmm. . . Last Trails Ranch/Last Trails Resort. Pretty close to "Lost", might get confused and might be overused already. . .

how about "Three Rivers?" claiming the Colorado as well as the two that are in the immediate area. Kinda Central to your expanded horizon of opportunities.

Color Country, Tri-State are very old conventional ad material for the area. Color Country Ranch? How many of those are there already?

Looking to the future, the best name would be "The Rift", geologically-speaking. That is the reason for that little Washington county block dropping down the way it does. Over the past past 150 million years the plate tectonic forces reversed under the line coming up from the gulf of California/Sea of Cortez all the way up to Canada. The Wasatch is part of that rift.

"The Rift" could be linked micro-locally with the fold structure within a couple of miles to the south that forms an impressive line of cliffs, part of the arc through the whole valley fromLeeds/Hurricane to your spot. Surely that will be the most commented point for bikers/hikers/joggers setting out from your place south, barring the long views that are spectacular as well.

These posts damn! I wish I was smart like u. So much good. How about Cortez Canyons on The Confluence or Convergence? You know there is a lot of Spanish gold buried in S Utah? It is a nice play on both area and history. I bet nobody mentioned CONFLUENCE yet. Confluence Country Ranches in??? Help me out.

Best yet

You might think you're making a mockery of it, but you're wrong. Dead wrong. There is a huge untapped market for vacation spots that serve the gender-identify groups. They are probably the most affluent demographic you could define in under three words.

Dr. Jones just has to find the correctly nuanced name to signal it without rousing the rednecks, so to speak.

Salt Lake has some interesting little redoubts, like Red Butte Gardens, Red Butte Canyon, and such. And in that location there is the most fantastic Red Butte in the state, in the nation, just north of Ivins. Oh about four miles from Joneses'.

Not long ago, I pulled off the freeway at Black Rock, only about eight miles south of Joneses'. After about five cars pulled up with single old men smiling at me, I realized this was a designated meetup spot an d I just didn't belong there.

Red Butte Ranch.
