About a year ago I decided to start a coworking space here in Alaska. I figured it needed a name, so that it could grow and be referenced. That name is CrankSpace. As luck would have it, one of the first things I realized, was that I actually didn't want to start a space, I wanted to build a community. And eventually, when our community needed it, we would find a location to house it.
So a year has gone by and we have a name which presumes we have the one thing we actually don't - space - and, I feel, vocalizes a value I don't see in that one thing. At least not direct value. My question is this: Does it matter? I would love for it to be a community decision, but despite being at it for almost a year, we don't have much of an active one yet. I feel I'm losing connection with the name because it promotes values I don't believe in and fear it having a negative impact. My fear in changing it is loss in recognition, perceived flakiness or lack of viability. Not sure what to do with this one. *TL:DR* - I feel our name doesn't fit our goals anymore. Does it matter?
