You forgot ORIC?
No, I really didn't. (-:
Wasn’t it Hugh, Pugh etc..?
Pretty sure there were two Pughs.

Each room should have the respective portrait of the namesake to get the feel correct.
This is what I've offered so far.
>>
Given that no bugger can ever remember which room is which, how about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6?
Gates, Jobs, Wozniak, Berners-Lee, Wales, Page. (Founders of: Microsoft, Apple x2, WWW, Wikipedia, Google.)
Armstrong, Conrad, Shepard, Scott, Young, Cernan. (The six Apollo commanders who have walked on the moon.)
Newton, Einstein, Curie, Darwin, Tesla, Hawking. (Household-name scientists, one would hope at least.)
Pemberton, Harty, Walker, Wainright, Fogarty, McShane? Or others from the list here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackburn#Notable_people
Anglezarke, Withnell, Rivington, Darwen, Turton, Holcombe. (West Pennine Moors.)
Krypton, Gallifrey, Tatooine, Vulcan, Caprica, Magrathea. (Fictional planets. Yes, I am a geek. Sorry.)
Lennon, Mercury, Bowie, Prince, Cobain, Hendrix. (Other dead rock stars are available. I avoided “Jackson” as I thought it might be a little contentious...)
Quetzalcoatl, Constantinople, Dodecahedron, Kaleidoscope, Velociraptor, Constellation. (With apologies to anyone who is hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobic. We have too many meetings anyway.)
Vindaloo, Madras, Dopiaza, Korma, Tikka, Biriani. (All types of ice-cream flavour, obviously.)
Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche, McLaren, Caterham, Tesla. (Preferable to blummin’ footballers, right?)
Vulcan, Napier, Squire, Postal Order, Fernhurst, Jubilee. (Pubs / former pubs in Blackburn that don’t immediately sound like pubs to non-locals.)
Sinclair, Commodore, Acorn, Dragon, Tandy, Atari. (Defunct 8-bit computer companies.)

Then if the sixth room is utterly randomly thrown together and plays no real use or connection to the rest of your business (possibly used by HR/marketing?):

Good idea JoeG .. how about these to complete the set.
Ours are named after famous Yorkshire people
You'd need a lot of rooms. And the first 5 would all have to be called Boycott 🙂
I'd suggest you'll also need a 'Meeting Room 7' which is bookable but no one can find. That's because it's the nearest pub
Ours are named after swedish coffee break treats. Perhaps you could have a meeting to discuss treat synergies and roll out of eventual product and whether or not you are entrepreneurial goal oriented relationship builders focused on SME growth. Hmm?

Obviously, the room where the big network computers live will need to be renamed the Server / LAN room.
In Cambridge it was Red Dwarf characters. Scutters was the one nearest our office.
In Scotland it was Lochs and Munroes.
In Yorkshire it was Hitchhikers Guide places and characters. I particularly like the Meeting Room at the end of the Wolds but it only works in Yorkshire.

+1 for numbers. We have names for ours and it's just pointless, easier to remember numbers than obscure names (ours were previously South American tribal names and are now local famous people from history).

Hope the corridor to HR is the “Geoffrey Boycott corridor of uncertainty”

That's inspired.

Made me laugh 🙂 You could do a whole suite of Boycs themed rooms
'Stick of Lettuce'
'Can't bat for Toffee'
'Uncovered pitches'
'Doesn't know he was born'
'Playing nicely'
But the office is in Lancashire, so as you were 🙂
Stick of rhubarb!

In my place of work they're named after companies we've taken over, which is strangely sadistic.
Are the name plates shaped like little tombstones?

For geeks, Bond films (Goldfinger, Thunderball etc) or Trekkies (Sulu, Nimoy etc).
