I'm certain that mo is my or mine, so it couldn't be our or ours.

Yes, you are right. It does means "my home". There are some that refer to the phrase "our home" and use the Gaelic "Mo Dhachaidh" as well.

Yes I have noticed a lot of B&B seem to use that phrase as their name, and translate it as "Our Home"... ah, language...lol

Seems like I heard that as the equivalent of "Evan" in English, but I'm strictly a dilatante when it comes to Gaelic.
