Good name! You may find concept of "Stigmergy" also interesting and useful for coworking. Have a look at:

The Hive is one of the most popular names for a coworking space, for good reason–it's a pretty good name, for the reasons you describe. Having proudly run a space with a delightfully punny name for many years, I find this to be too good of an opportunity to pass up. This is a chance for you to make a statement. So, perhaps you can put Hive in your back pocket and always know you can go back to it if you need. I posted not long ago in another thread about this, but I'll just say shortly here: this is a great chance to invite your members' participation. Throw names on a wall, do some brainstorming, see what people gravitate to, and know that you always make the final call. New Work City came from one of our members, and another (future coworking space owner, hi Alex Linsker!) was so sure that had to be the name that he convinced me to go for it. And I still love that name. :) Tony PS - You're awesome.
