+1 what Tony said. The Hive is kinda a perfect name but it's super overused and I think there's probably a Hive in every city. I would avoid it for SEO purposes. And instead of squashing all your excitement I'm going to give you the coworking name I came up for a space in Mongolia but the word didn't translate for them. Hearth. It's got heart, art, earth and evokes feelings of warmth and gathering. Feel free to take it if it resonates with you!
Angel ps. My weird personal issue with Hive is that there's only 1 lady per hive. Think about that...
