We're moving offices shortly and the site has been asked to come up with suggestions for names for the six meeting rooms we'll have at the new place.
I've submitted my ideas but figured you lot could probably do better. What've you got?
For context, we're a tech company and moving to Blackburn. (Which isn't as bad as it sounds, we're leaving Burnley.)
Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Titch.
The remaining room is up to you!
IT company you say .. here are 6
Turn
It
Off
And
On
Again
Room 1, Room 2, Room 3, Room 4, etc.
we have names for meeting rooms it’s pointless. It doesn’t make it any more pleasurable to sit in them and it doesn’t help figure out where they are on the site
A, B, C, D, E and G
It'll be an unanswered question for years.
Contagious diseases?
"I'll book Gonorrhoea for this afternoon's progress meeting"
Famous corporate failures?
Enron, Blockbuster, Ratners, Lehman Brothers...
Roomy McRoomface?
Cougar
panther
tiger
leopard
lion
Dave Prowse
Name them after TdF winners?
You can choose whether to use Lance or not.
Monkey
Funky
Junky
Skunky
Chunky
Hunky
Pugh
Pugh
Barney McGrew
Cuthbert
Dibble
Grubb.
Take your pick from Limbo, Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Anger, Heresy, Violence, Fraud and Treachery?
Or just use level names from Doom
Walls of the Damned, Spawning Vats, Containment Area, Slough of Despair, House of Pain, Unholy Cathedral?
Christ, all ours are named after the London Tube Map and in no order or flow, they don’t even line up with how they should appear on the map.. so central line mixed in with jubilee and northern etc. etc.
Which is absolutely bang on for an IT Change initiative 🤔🤠💃🐴
So I’m going to propose Beaches the of the U.K. starting with Brighton going clockwise.

This room, that room, the other room, 1st on the left, 2nd on the right, and the one next to the water cooler.
The bored room.
The miserable room
The my soul is crushed room
The room of tedium
The self harm room
The play with phone room.
Ours are named after famous scientists, but everyone still says 'is that the one over the road & upstairs....?'

Ours are named for famous doctors, one of whom is Patricia Bath. How we laugh every time we meet in the Bathroom
All a bit
All of ours are named after railway stations locally and the screening that obscures people looking in has high level maps of them embedded in it including the roads around them etc. Looks good and not too unprofessional when others are dialling in or booking them.
Based on a random selection of famous/notable people from Blackburn....
Wainwright

Duckworth

I worked one places where the buildings were the names of mountains and the parks between them lakes.
They were in the same order easy to west as the real world ones.
i thought it was cool.
Where I last worked the rooms Had a location code - letter representing multimedia capability - room capacity. It was far more useful

I like how there is no exit.
Posted that in a hurry... trying to get in there first hahaha. Thanks @thepruist
Pick up a demotivational poster for each room...
Room 1, Room 2, Room 3, Room 4, etc.
That was my first suggestion, for exactly the reasons you list.
Harry Potter spells
That crossed my mind.
The bored room.
I was working on more like this. I got Pontification Station, Bored Room, Vacant Office, then ran out of ideas.
Sinclair
(etc)
Genius, I'm stealing that. Sinclair, Commodore, Acorn, Dragon, Tandy, Atari.
Based on a random selection of famous/notable people from Blackburn….
Already suggested that, and an almost identical list (I had Walker instead of Duckworth).
Darwen
Calf Hey
Rivington Pike
Anglezarke
Holcombe
Entwhistle
You should be able to get plenty of nice relevant pictures for the walls as well.
Ours are named after famous Yorkshire people
Numbers. Ours are named after cities and it's not in the least bit obvious where they are. At least if you pass room 1 and see room 2 there's a good chance the next one is room 3. Not f****** "Newport" or "Macclesfield".

Wasn't it Hugh, Pugh etc..?
Ours are named after famous Yorkshire people
Yes but they need to find six.
They will undoubtedly end up named after famous scientists in the IT / telecom industries.
Perchy's prediction for the actual names chosen by a committee of IT management spods is....
Bell
Marconi
Turing
Babbage
Jobs
Logie Baird
A tech company that still has meeting rooms? If they haven't been rebranded as something more pretentious like collaboration spaces now is your time.
