I agree that your members should be part of the decision. It's a fun way to get their input and for them to be an important part of the development of the space.
However, since you asked, I don't get a feeling of "very professional" from the name Space Station Coworking. I'm picturing comets, aliens, and red shirts (which are all very fun! unless you're an unfortunate red shirt), but not professionalism. Also, if you aim for something a bit unique, then you'll be able to track our name much easier if you're looking for online mentions. Not something so unique that people have a hard time saying or spelling it, but unique enough that you'll stand out. And no, I didn't follow my own advice when naming my space. While it's apt given that we're a coworking space, the number of times the word "camaraderie" appears in my google alerts that aren't about our space is a high percentage. Have a brainstorming session with your members. Beer, whiteboards, sticky notes, and fun together could yield great results. r. *____________________ rachel young *[email protected] *We're now at 2241 Dundas St W, 3rd floor* *(between Bloor and Roncesvalles)* *Toronto, ON M6R 1X6* *See details at http://bit.ly/MovingToRoncy.* *Find us online:* Website/blog <http://camaraderie.ca> and Newsletter<http://bit.ly/camaraderienewsletter> Google+ <http://bit.ly/CamaraderiePlus>, Twitter<http://twitter.com/camaraderie> , Facebook <http://bit.ly/9zv3Fx>, and LinkedIn<http://bit.ly/CamaraderieGroup> We're a proud member of CoworkingToronto <http://www.coworkingtoronto.ca/>, CoworkingOntario<http://coworkingontario.ca/> , and CoworkingCanada <http://www.coworkingcanada.ca/>!
