Wow...now I don't feel so bad about naming all of our stands over the years.  Some that we've had (and still have) share names with some posted here:

Turn around stand (at the loop at the end of an old logging road)
The Hilton (oversized blind that's very comfy)
Ellie's Playhouse (my daughter plays in it during the summer)
Cherry point
Gateway stand
Custer Stand (I spined a buck and shot him several times after - my father said it looked like Custer's last stand)
Spring Stand
Mary's ridge stand
Pond stand
The Killin' tree (always produces)
Culvert Stand
Grandpa's old blind
Food plot stand and back food plot stand
Upper and Lower Ravine stands
The Lemonade Stand

When my father and I are talking stands, all we have to do is reference one of these and we know exactly where the other is talking about.

We have

North Windmill blind
Middle Cedar Blind
Middle Blind (not in a cedar lol)
North Cedar Blind
Cottonwood blind (no longer in use but makes a reference point)
Hedge row blind
Shelter belt blind

I come from a large family and to allow us to all hunt we have a lot of stands. The past several years I have been hunting on my own and on public access lands all over an hours drive from home but with google maps and gps coordinates everyone in my family knew what I was referring to based off of stand names I would use.

highwall stand
oak flat stand
cabin stand
Woods stand

sulphur pit stand

Just to name a few!

My favorite is my buddy's $120,000 stand. That's how much he put into his land and cabin, and it's the best stand on the place.

I love this...

Trash stand (a knoll where farmers used to dump trash)
Honey hole (because it is)
The Park (grassy place in a pine stand)
Agent Orange (a hunter was doused by herbicide from a helicopter)
The Barrel (an old drum in an oak grove where farmers used to burn feed sacks)
Big Oaks (they ain't small)
Ditch Stand (gotta jump the ditch to get to it)
Bathtub (farmers used to feed livestock in an old clawfoot tub.  One of our guests never saw it and days later referred to the stand as the shower stall.  He did not understand why we were laughing so hard.)
Ridge bowl (odd land formation where a ridge forms a tight half moon)
Tobacco Barn (old drying barn in the middle of the woods)
Pole Barn Holler (draw near a pole barn)
Hidden Oaks (an oak grove that cannot be seen in the planted pines...this is a great place in the rut)
Hidey Hole (intentionally hard to get to so no one wants to hunt it)
and The One Way Out Yonder (yep, it ain't nowhere near camp)
