'Fionn' is Gaelic for 'white' and 'taigh' means 'house' though it is more usually (and according to Macalpine's Gaelic Dictionary incorrectly) spelled 'tigh'. It stands on the spot where the old maps show the croft or farm of Bogside, so it is understandable that the occupants might wish to re-name it, even though it is a very long time since Gaelic was spoken anywhere in this area, and the house isn't white.
