Again, not a coworker at present, but have dreams of someday starting one.
However, I have named a few websites and businesses.
The best tips I ever got for naming things were these.
1. It has to mean something. IBM is a great, well recognized name, but it
would suck if it was just starting out.
2. Try to make it memorable.
3. Make it either fairly short, or pack value into it if it has to be long.
4. Try to use recognizable but little used words.
So for a Coworking space in Reading, pronounced redding, not reeding ;)
, where they have a pagoda (but this is little known),
and are famous for pretzels,
and by the way, they have the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum (every June, and I'll
be there this June for the festival) (Look it up, it is SO worth it!!!)
(Ride in a bomber, or a barnstormer airplane)
You have some great suggestions, but I would recommend having a name that
references the geographical area, and a saying or motto that shows off the
values of the place. So "Reading{PA}Coworking" might not be very cool, but
the saying could be something neat (which I am currently too tired to think
of right now, sorry).
My $.02 Take it for what it's worth.
