I thought House was because it sounds like “home” and that sounds like Holmes, and the character/show of House is based on the Sherlock Holmes stories.

It’s actually a reference to Brick House, the lyrics:

“Ow, she’s a brick house She’s mighty-mighty, just lettin’ it all hang out She’s a brick house That lady’s stacked and that’s a fact Ain’t holding nothing back”

Referring to the demeanor of Dr.House and how he lets it all hang out, and holds nothing back.

:P

  It’s actually called house because he breaks into people’s houses

  Sounds more like a reference to Cuddy.
