I think that a name does not make or break you but havign a reason for a name does help in clarity in future.
My busness is called "de Kamer" which means "the room" in Dutch. It is used in Dutch for many things, which gave me many punning opportunities. It is used for the houses of parliament (the "first kamer" is cognate of the US Senate and the "tweede kamer" is of the House of Representatives. If you rent a place or go away to school you live "op kamers". And there are some other puns which require too much explanation. Each location is named Kamer+the street number. So in Oosterhout Kamer52 is located on the street called Zandheuvel, at number 52. (Actually 52B but details). In Den Bosch it is on the Zilverenberg number 36 and is called Kamer36. And so on. This means people always know where we are if they are local and can remember the street name. It actually worked because one of our more popular searches if you dig into this stuff turns out to be "city+Kamer" or "Kamer in >City name<". Also for cities we are not in; it is nice to know people are ambitious for me lol. If you are looking at many spaces in future, it is well to think about this beforehand, having some logic to the name does help in keeping things clear. Though we wrestled for a ridiculous amount of time over whether it should be "de Kamer" or "de Kamers". we settled on the former becauwse coworkers identify with one, which is theirs. The do not identify with the whole network. Even the ones who use it a lot.
