Name the meeting rooms

boy_wonder

Ok my partner works in a company and they are running a competition to name the 13 new meeting rooms. There must be a common theme for all rooms.

Any ideas?

My suggestion was to pick the rooms after " unlucky number 13". name the rooms after things unlucky.
Another was 13 letters in the name.

I'm brutal so any ideas?

Thanks folks

petes

1,2,3,4...etc.

Karoma

Where is the company based?
What sort of business/sector?

You could name them as the spelt words of the actual numbers in 13 different languages.

Edit: Knowing what type of business it is would help

Miss Fluff

13 is a baker's dozen so I think you should name them after cakes or pies

whiskeyman

KNowing the business name and industry would sure make a lot more sense...

Miss Fluff

Or apostles and call the biggest room Jesus Christ

rugbug86

what kind of business is it? something related to the business?

or countries or something

i do like the languages one

or a coloured one - different coloured! 12 different colours, the 13th being the rainbow room!

tables, chairs, carpet, walls, stationary... based around one colour! i dont mean everything hot pink or whatever, but maybe hot pink panels on the wall, glass & chrome table, hot pink fabric meeting room chairs...

carry the theme to blue, yellow, red, purple, green...

Ruu_Old

Wiki on number 13 might give you some idears.

connundrum

I went to 13names.com expecting something inspirational.. alas nowt appeared only some silly 'aussie rock'

I reckon you should name them after the main characters from Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles. Bagsie me the Michaelangelo Room!

Or name them after Rivers

- Shannon
- Liffey
- Lee
- Corrib
- Lagen
- Foyle
- Nore
- Suir
- Barrow
- Blackwater
- Brosna
- Bandon
- Slaney

Or name them after Counties

biko

In my company we named the meeting rooms after Irish islands, Inishbofin Inishmore Inishmaan etc... Make sure you include Rockall

Leinsters 12 counties? Carlow, Dublin, Kildare, Kilkenny, Laois, Longford, Louth, Meath, Offaly, Westmeath, Wexford, Wicklow. Just name the last "Main room" or such.

Kwekubo

How about Irish poets/authors?

Or name the biggest room "Leinster" and the other 12 as the counties

seamus

We have 54 meeting rooms. They all have logical names based on their location.

stooge

Depends on the company as has been pointed out. I hate meeting room names, I can never remember where each one is and end up asking someone.....so I propose you name them after their location in the building e.g:

1 = The big meeting room thats always empty, two doors down form the toliets
2 = The small one with one window a broken projector and a funky smell
3 = The one in the corner near the coffee dock that you nosey into when on a tea break
4 = etc etc etc
.....


Failing that you could just call them planets and their moons
Pluto
Saturn
Mars
Mercury
Jupiter
Venus
Neptune
Sun
Moon
Earth
Ceres
Eris

and

Uranus


Somehow I don't think Uranus will be a popular one e.g You meet a female colleague in the corridor and say-

"Alright Betty, hope you know that we have a meeting in Uranus at 2pm, be prepared"

me and the biz

The best sugestion yet. Whatever way they get named its going to be boring and not make a difference.

Maybe name them after Jackie Chan movie films:

Rush hour 2
Rumble in the bronx
Shanghai knights
and so on

DublinWriter

I also immediately thought of the 12 Apostles agus Jesus when I saw this thread.

It really does depend on the company (how wacky, or not) and the products and services of said company.

My ideas would be:

- Elvis movies
- The Company's product names (lickarse suggestion)
- Letters of the Greek Alphabet
- Famous Dead People
- Ex-directors of the company (seriously lickarse suggestion)

Cianos

Or instead of them being meeting rooms, they could be meating rooms.

Bacon, chicken, beef and so on.

humanji

Name them after 13 famous serial killers. That'll get you noticed.

Or after 13 porno movies, and see how long you can keep your job.

Lust4Life

Miss Fluff, when you decide to take over the world can I be your campaign manager? I LOVE those answers!

c - 13

Name them after the fora here on you beloved boards.

Personal Issues
After Hours
The Cuckoos Nest

Gaspode

how about this list, the 13 top earning dead celebrities
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/77935/forbes_list_of_13_topearning_dead_celebrities.html

Tony255

i'd name them after major cities around the world, London, New York, Dublin, Sydney, etc....

00112984

I'd give them names that rhyme with "room".

Tomb room
Womb room
Zoom room
etc.

Dampsquid

Name them after the 13 forum Categories on boards.

Arts
Biz
Edu

Maybe not

Zonko

After each playing card, perhaps? Although I agree that they'll just become known by their descriptions.

monkeyfudge

• Marmoset
• Macaques
• Rhesus
• Mandrill
• Tamarin
• Saki
• Uakari

We have server's in my job named after drink's, planet's and greek god's!


You could try old Irish president's or famous ex politician's

Pighead

The DeVore Meeting Room: Where all the big decisions are made. Beruthial can ofthen be seen exiting the DeVore room fixing her blouse and re applying her scarlet lipstick.

The Cathy Moran Meeting Room: This room will be used to say nice things about employees and tell them how great they are

The coolsmileygirl Meeting Room: This will be used for workers to engage in lunchtime quickies whilst the boss is down the bank. Lots of inane giggling and awkward fumbling to be heard in here.

The Rozie Meeting Room: Used for employees to get things off their chest and vent their spleen regarding the evil employers dastardly attitudes.

The cormie Meeting Room: This room will be full of mirrors where vain employees will be found preening and prancing.

The Pythia Meeting Room: No employees allowed in here. Strictly for the posh members of the company to talk about Tennis Clubs and Cocktail Parties.

The Karl Hungus Meeting Room: Meetings where executives are urged to diversify and explore foreign markets, especially the Japanese and Eastern European sectors.

The Sparky-S Meeting Room: Meetings will take place here between managers and ambitious young employees. Mats will be placed on the floor to make kneeling more comfortable for teh ambitious young employee. Bibs will also be issued to prevent spillages down shiny new suits.

The Bubbles Meeting Room: Being called for a meeting in this room can only mean one thing. YOU'RE FIRED.

The Le Rack Meeting Room: All Bullying and Harrasment charges will be dealt with in here. The room is quite big but there's hardly any furnishing.

The Sarky/Karoma Meeting Room: Place for older employees to meet and bitch about the new hires. Backslapping and comparing intelligence are all the rage here.

The Beruthial Meeting Room: A place to counsel distressed employees in a cosy environment with confidentiality guaranteed. Room is one of the oldest in the building and is in need of a major facelift.

The Pighead Meeting Room: A room where the bravest, most handsome employees gather at each months end to compare profits and plan for the future. Room is supremely well built, especially around the middle and the sexy secretarys can often be seen admiring the magnificent bodywork.

I like this idea... Also if the boss is a boards user they'll actually get it (and probably monitor what you do online...)

Civilian_Target

Name them after the 13 lanthanides of the periodic table - that'll challenge your employees spelling (and you'll know if their drunk or not)

They are:

Lanthanum
Cerium
Praseodymium
Neodymium
Promethium
Samarium
Europium
Gadolinium
Terbium
Dysprosium
Holmium
Erbium
Thulium

"The Praseodymium room" just rolls casually off the tongue, doesn't it!

The greek gods and planets are very popular for servers. I normally call my servers after various types of animal. My laptop is called dog, my server is called fatGeorge (after a nearby dog of that name) and I had a good name for my new server, but forgot it. (not installed yet)

Don't forget Fingal tbh.

How about a theme based on fancy colours? An advantage of this would be that it makes the interior decorating quite easy.

Snow
Gainsboro
Bisque
Moccasin
Azure
Chartreuse
Khaki
Gold
Sienna
Beige
Coral
Orchid
Salmon

Hope that helps.

EDIT: I see that rugbug previously suggested this. What can I say but great minds think alike and rugbug ain't so bad either

Thanks for all the suggestions. Its a Pharmaceutical company so i think they will probably go with the boring/lickarse names.

Of course if the office buildings are ever extended your naming convention will have to be future proof. Thus, limiting the names to series of 13 could be a major flaw.

A company which I previously worked for (who shall remain nameless) used to call the meeting rooms after the various products they produced.

e.g. Company name "Spud", room 1 = "fried spuds", room 2 = "chocolate spuds", etc
