In our area (part of our road), the houses pre-date 1938; that was the year the council numbered the houses. So nearly all of the houses in this bit have names as well as numbers.
Our was the first one, and is called 'XXXXXX'. The road is 'XXXXXX Avenue'. That IS pretentious!
Sometimes SWMBO gives our address as 'XXXXXX House'....!
Ours used to be like that - until they invented numbers a few years back. Now the postcode database doesn't have our house name!
But as some clown used the village name as a street name in the nearest town we put the parish name in too - it's also the name of the adjacent village.
