Why The Name Choice?

I get asked all the time why I chose the name I did for our tiny little homestead. Some chuckle, others scratch their heads in bewilderment.
Here's the scoop - Thor's Hammer - here's what Wiki says about it :
The Prose Edda gives a summary of Mjöllnir's special qualities in that, with Mjöllnir, Thor:
... would be able to strike as firmly as he wanted, whatever his aim, and the hammer would never fail, and if he threw it at something, it would never miss and never fly so far from his hand that it would not find its way back, and when he wanted, it would be so small that it could be carried inside his tunic.[1]

Thinking of our endeavors brought the hammer to mind. It's strong, never failing and always returns. I'm hoping it's a good omen to use that name.
