What was the name of the planet which was referred to as “House” in the “The Doctors Wife”?...
Hands down one of my favorite episodes, if not THE favorite of all time, I am trying to figure out what the name of the planet 'House' was from. I name all of my devices after Whovian planetary guidance, but for the life of me, cannot find any reference to a planet here. Any thoughts? Or was there a name for the bubble universe it belonged to?

The Doctor identifies the House as an asteroid within its own pocket universe. Since the entire thing is one entity (with an asteroid-looking shell wrapped around it), presumably its name is "The House" rather than the planet(oid) having a separate name.
DOCTOR: I see. This asteroid is sentient.
...
DOCTOR: Yes. So you're like a sea urchin. Hard outer surface, that's the planet we're walking on. Big, squashy, oogly thing inside, that's you.
HOUSE [OC]: That is correct, Time Lord.
The House asteroid exists outside the universe. Rory tried to get a handle on whether it's in a separate bubble universe but the Doctor shoots him down. No name is given for the place.
DOCTOR: Imagine a great big soap bubble with one of those tiny little bubbles on the outside.
RORY: Okay.
DOCTOR: Well, it's nothing like that.
