[Closed] Name our meeting rooms.

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.

Harry Potter spells

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....

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.

You forgot ORIC?

No, I really didn't. (-:

Wasn’t it Hugh, Pugh etc..?

Pretty sure there were two Pughs.

Mussolini

Hitler

Mao

Stalin

Pol Pot

Gaddafi

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.)

Turing, Lovelace, Babbage, Stroustrup, Stallman, Dijkstra, Knuth

Edit: yes that is seven. I was counting from zero.

Anomalous Materials

Unforeseen Consequences

Residue Processing

Questionable Ethics

Lambda Core

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?):

Xen

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”

I particularly like the Meeting Room at the end of the Wolds but it only works in Yorkshire.

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!

Geeky numbers, anyone?

Nope, many think that, but it's Pugh, Pugh...  cos they were twin brothers.

We have rooms... HI, HII, HIII, HIV
