we call it a couch (or "stimpy's couch"
). and the living room is called the living room.

my grandma (mom's side) called the couch a "davenport". and i think she called the living room the front room. my other grandma called them couch and living room.

I've always called it a couch.. though I've heard a lot of people say sofa, too.

I've always said living room, but sometimes we call it the family room.

I call it a couch...and it's in my family room (the one with the TV). There's not a couch in my living room (the one off the entrance). DH calls it a sofa, though.

My grandma also used to call it a davenport. (When I was a kid we always figured that it was because she lived in Iowa and there's a town in Iowa called "Davenport".)

My living room is called my living room- LOL because I live in there... HEHE. Also I call it a couch. My grandparents call it a davenport.. they live in Iowa...

LOL I just read all the other replies.... yes there is a town in Iowa called Davenport
When I was a kid, that's why I thought my grandparents called it that too...hmm?

Couch or sofa - both are interchangeable! But I called it a chesterfield when I was little! Living room or front room - again interchangeable, although a lot call them a family room. Family rooms are usually in the basement though and also called rec rooms.
