Re: [Coworking] Unique Name for Coworking Spot

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. :)

Hey Kevin!

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.

[Coworking] Unique Name for Coworking Spot

[Kevin Haggerty]

As I continue to gear up for our "one day" launch, one of the items I kick 
around is the name of the space.

Right now, I'm leaning towards calling it The Hive. My reason is twofold:

1) I love the picture it creates -- the hive mentality. Everyone coming 
together to get work done in a community.

2) The beehive is a symbol of historical significance here in Gloucester, VA, 
and has been dating back to the 1800s, used as a picture of unity in the 
colony. It is common to see beehives used as decorations in this area quite 
often. So, I feel like it would be a name that resonates with the community. 
Coworking is completely foreign here, so I want to do my best to work with the 
culture and not against it.

All of this being said, in aware of at least a couple other coworking spaces 
(globally) with this same moniker. Am I being unoriginal? Am I breaking any 
unwritten Coworking rules by doing this?

I really like the name, and the people in the community in bounced it off of 
really like it as well. I just want to make sure I'm being respectful to those 
who have gone before me and paved the way.

Thanks!

P.S. I really love this community. You've been so gracious and open. It's 
humbling.
