Un-boring space/meeting room names

[Toni Hogan]

Have any of you given your meeting areas and other areas within your
space creative names? Conference Room 1 is kind of blah. I was
thinking of selling/raffling/auctioning naming rights but we'd still
probably end up in the blah-zone. I'm scribbling some ideas to pass
along to the board (my husband) but I just wanted to see what others
have done.

Hi Toni,

what about names of cities, continents or planets? If you have 2, 3 or more rooms, check out names of couples or teams with interesting names, e.g. Asterix, Comic or Manga heros etc.

The newly expanded Mojo Coworking in Asheville will have 3 conference. The large glass conference room on the second floor that overlooks the entry - will be called The Lookout.

The smaller glass room - will be called The Tank.

The dark one in the way back will be called The Hole.

New space should be open on September 1.

[Toni Hogan]

Greetings! That's a thought. We have several rooms/areas to name so it
will have to be something that we can keep a common theme throughout.
Teams would work.

I like the Tank and the Hole. We already had two spaces way in the
back named the Hideout and the Dive. They are just miscellaneous areas
where we'll put sofas or comfy chairs for people who want to get away
for a while. I started scribbling yesterday and the two names would
fit. Here are some others I came up with...but the jury is still out.

The Situation Room - the boardroom like conference room
Central Intelligence Area - the library
Area 51 - our big training room. I think instead of telling people we
can fit up to 60 people I will say we can fit at least 51. LOL
Secret Ops and Covert Ops - two small meeting rooms
Janes and Joes - the restrooms
Hush Rooms - the phone rooms off Area 51
Command Central - the lounge

There are a few more. If we go this route I will post the rest. :-)

Remember if you get to cheesy with it, it won't be funny. Joke conference names are funny the first time and the second time...but the 10th or 20th time you see it it won't be funny at all. I would choose a theme that makes the names memorable and avoid joke names or any inside jokes that your customers won't get. Don't use words that are hard to pronounce correctly, foreign language terms, etc. It only works if the customers remember the names and like them, otherwise it just gets in the way of remembering the reference to the space you want to use.

Great point, Peter. Choosing names like these now don't really bring value and are more likely to be confusing or alienating members before they even join. If you're going with "fun" names, they should come from your membership, not the people in this google group who are unlikely to ever use the rooms. 

That said, a couple of ideas based on things I've seen. 

Directions - our conference rooms are "north" and "south". 

Member/sponsor names - you can use these names as a way to raise money, allowing early members or sponsors to have the room named after them for a (probably significant) contributions. 

Functions - does the room have a special feature or utility? Name it that.

agreed. and so...my question was had anyone done it, not so much will
someone help me do it. we've talked about naming rights but my partner
wants to wait until we've been open a while. it's a marketing thing
and the whole perceived value concept. in the meantime we have ton of
space in a building that every single person who has walked through
the door has referred to as "a maze." so, i would like to establish an
easy point of reference. ;-)

Hi Toni, 

I have seen rooms named after cities (i.e. London, Berlin), important places in your city (i.e. Big Ben, Abbey Road), important people or people you like, or coulours (which works great if you actually use the color for the room!).
