What do you call your meeting rooms? Do they have names? …or are they simply numbered “ **Meeting Room 1″** , “ **Meeting Room 2** “, and so forth?

Whatever naming (or numbering) convention you use, there will probably be some sensible logic behind it.

Our MIDAS booking software is used by organizations around the globe to manage countless meeting and conference rooms. It’s really easy within the software to change the names of your bookable rooms at any time.

So if you’re getting a little bored with mundane names for your rooms – if “ **Conference Room A** ” just isn’t cutting it any more, maybe it’s time for a refresh? …perhaps with a fun or humorous new name which will make users smile?

To give you some ideas, here are some funny, humorous, real examples that organizations have used to name their meeting rooms:

## Google

Google is known for its quirky workplace culture, and they have various offices worldwide with creative meeting room names. For example, at Google’s Mountain View headquarters, you might find meeting rooms named after different desserts like “ **Cupcake** “, “ **Donut** “, and “ **Eclair** “, as a nod to their Android operating system releases.

## Facebook

Similar to Google, Facebook is also famous for its playful office environment. At Facebook’s headquarters in Menlo Park, California, you’ll find meeting rooms named after popular board games like “ **Monopoly** “, “ **Scrabble** “, and “ **Risk** “.

## X / Twitter

Before Twitter became “X”, their headquarters in San Francisco has meeting rooms with names related to birds, reflecting the company’s then logo and theme. Examples include “ **Ostrich** ” “ **Hummingbird** ” and “ **Penguin** “.

## Airbnb

The vacation rental company Airbnb is known for its themed meeting rooms at its San Francisco headquarters. They have rooms named after different travel destinations, such as “ **Tokyo** “, “ **Paris** “, and “ **Rio** “, adding to the company’s travel-inspired culture.

## BuzzFeed

BuzzFeed, a digital media company, has meeting rooms with amusing names related to internet culture and memes. Examples include “ **Fail Whale** “, “ **Cat Video** “, and “ **Viral** “.

## Slack

[Slack](https://mid.as/slack), the popular workplace communication platform, has fun and quirky meeting room names at its offices. Examples include “ **Llama Drama** “, “ **Nerd Cave** “, and “ **Corgi Corner** “.

## LinkedIn

LinkedIn, the professional networking platform, also has creatively named meeting rooms at its offices. Examples include “ **Career Catapult** “, “ **Networking Nook** “, and “ **Connection Corner** “.

## Groupon

The online deals company, Groupon, gets creative with names like “ **The Fountain from Friends** ” (referencing the show’s iconic hangout spot), “ **Disappointment Beach** ” (perhaps for giving feedback sessions a lighter touch), and “ **Tiny House for Big Ideas** “.

## Etsy

The Etsy online marketplace for crafts and handmade goods uses playful food-music combos for their meeting rooms, like “ **Fleetwood Mac ‘n Cheese** ” and “ **Wu Tang Clams** “

These are just a few examples of organizations that have embraced humor and creativity in naming their meeting rooms, adding a touch of personality to their workplace environments.
