20 unique meeting room names
Quirky meeting room names are not only useful for helping workers and visitors to find their way around your office buildings, but they can also be a bit of fun and give you a chance to exhibit your company’s character and ethos. You might even get a few mentions on social media if yours is amusing, clever or meaningful enough. Here you will find 20 ideas for unique and fun meeting room names for your office spaces – can you think of any better?
1. The Think Tank
Those local to Birmingham may know of this as the name of one of its science museums, yet this name is also fitting for any meeting space, especially one where you require your teams to work and collaborate on new ideas.
2. The Katherine Johnson Room
Companies with a background in mathematics, aeronautics, space, science or other technologies may be inclined to name their meeting rooms after pivotal historical figures in this field. Katherine Johnson was an African-American mathematician who worked at NASA and was pivotal in the orbital calculations that made the Apollo missions a success. What better example of an inspiring name for a room?
3. The Alan Turing Room
With ties to Manchester, where there’s a statue of him sat on a bench, Alan Turing was a mathematician who helped crack the German Enigma codes during World War II, before suffering immensely from punitive policies because he was gay. Any industry with a grounding in mathematics or science, particularly one from near Manchester, will be proud to name their meeting rooms after this inspirational figure.
4. The Strategy Space
Alliteration is a popular stylistic feature when trying to name a meeting room, and here it works well to help make this name memorable. At the same time, The Strategy Space is also evocative of collaborative working rooms where people can formulate plans together and develop their business and marketing strategies.
5. The Boom Room
Here’s an ideal meeting room name for any innovative startup company with plenty of inspiration and ideas. Just as you’d like to watch your business’s success boom, the Boom Room provides the ideal space to strategise with your team as to how you can ensure this happens.
6. Meety-pie
This pun on the phrases “meat pie” and “sweetie pie” makes Meety-pie a fun meeting room name for any work space where you and your colleagues not only meet to work on projects together, but can also bounce ideas off each other in a slightly more laid back environment whilst eating lunch or other refreshments (but not necessarily meat pies!).
7. The Confidential Office
Confidentiality is important in all industries today, especially in light of the European Union’s 2016 General Data Protection Regulations. Workers at all levels need to be aware of what is required of them with regard to data protection regulations, yet in some establishments it can be a good idea to have a designated office to deal with confidential data.
8. The Conflab Lab
With “conflab” meaning an informal private conversation or discussion, The Conflab Lab is a great idea for naming any meeting room where you might want to privately discuss business matters with just a small group of people.
9. Collaboration Corner
Any corner of your office space where you might work with others from within or outside your organisation would well suit the name Collaboration Corner. There’s also an air of mystery and cheekiness about it, as collaboration can also have underhand connotations.
10. Tea-m Time
Another pun linked to food and drink, Tea-m Time is an option for naming any meeting space where you might look to create a more laid-back environment, where attendees can enjoy tea or coffee whilst also meeting as a team. It’s always good for people to know they can be informal and open in meetings, and a relaxed name gets them halfway there.
11. The Discussion Forum
This name might resonate with anyone who is part of any online society, and can be a particularly pertinent choice of name for any meeting room which also comes with virtual meeting room technology, so attendees who can’t physically attend can also join in via videoconferencing equipment. In ancient Greece and Rome, the forum was a public space for business and discussion, so it’s doubly appropriate.
12. Chatty Corner
Any meeting space or breakout area where you might like to encourage discussion between your employees or between yourselves and other experts in your field would suit the alliterative name Chatty Corner. There can be no doubt that this is a place where ideas flow freely, and that can only be a good thing for a forward-thinking organisation.
13. The Quiet Zone
Sometimes, just as some trains offer quiet coaches where passengers can enjoy a quiet environment to sleep, read or contemplate life, a meeting space dubbed the Quiet Room can similarly be a good idea for any company looking to designate a space for workers wishing to focus without distractions. As a meeting room, it can encourage contemplative thinking and idea sharing, without the shouting.
14. The Data Den
There is a data aspect to almost every industry today. The Data Den can be a very fitting name for any meeting space dedicated to working through the numbers, especially if yours is a business that frequently gets heads together to work on complex figures and data analysis.
15. Room for Ideas
Any room where your team might want to work on developing ideas could very aptly be named the Room for Ideas. It also leaves visitors in no doubt that you have a “no idea too daft” policy, which is known to help with open-mindedness and coming up with innovative ideas.
16. The Meeting of Minds Room
If you frequently meet with individuals from companies across your sector, the Meeting of Minds Room sounds like an ideal title for the space where you meet with these people to discuss topical issues. A meeting of minds might suggest everyone is singing from the same song sheet, and that could be an ironic name too, if you regularly thrash out ideas from a wide range of inputs.
17. The Philosophers’ Nest
Here’s a suitable name for any chief executive officer’s office or space where you may wish to discuss ideas with your team. It suggests a homely atmosphere, but also one where you’re prepared to put the hours in coming up with intelligent solutions to the problems you face.
18. The Birthing Room of Ideas
Meeting rooms where ideas are formed for driving your business forwards would be well suited to a name such as The Birthing Room of Ideas – as long as you have enough space on the door, that is!
19. International Waters
Evocative of the world’s oceans that are neutral territory and accessible to all, this meeting room name is ideal for any space where you might wish to meet with competitors or collaborate with companies or individuals in or from other countries. It also gives the feeling of a place where discussion is open and where there are no silos or wrong ideas.
20. Or, go with a theme
There is another way of naming your room, of course, and it works well if you’ve got several meeting spaces. You can think of a subject, be it movies, sports, or a theme from within your industry, and think up funny names for the rooms around it. Virgin Media does it well with its vans (e.g. Obi Van Kenobi, Jeanne Claude Van Damme and Julie Vandrews), so perhaps there’s scope for the same idea in your business?
We hope that you can use these names to help you to start thinking of names to make your office spaces more memorable and engaging. If you don’t have your own premises, you can always hire meeting room spaces from the professionals – you can call it “a hire purpose” if you want …
