I need to get the book but my impression was that it was a place.  A Hollow 
being: "a depressed or low part of a surface; especially : a small valley or 
basin"   .. and I just can't see a house being named after a basin. The 
Burrow being a house's name makes more sense to me because I picture it as 
being full of little passages and hidey holes ect which is exactly what a 
burrow (well technically its a hole its ground that rabbits (gnomes??) and 
the like use for shelter .. but I digress)  Also 'burrow' is a more 'cuddly" 
word. . Makes me think of burrowing under the covers where its warm and safe.
