What should our chatroom name be?

Question 1

Right now our chat room's name is justEbooks. I feel there is something better we could name our chat room. What name could we use?

Question 2

Answers with multiple options, are less than helpful. Please post a separate answer for each name suggestion.

Question 3

Can someone edit the question for this request instead of posting this under every answer?

Question 4

@Matt_2.0 that is good suggestion, but only the OP and moderators currently have edit rights on meta

Question 5

@Matt_2.0 This isn't really a feature - req. That's why its tagged discussion

Question 6

I was going to suggest 'eRoom' but it looks like there are commercial usages of the word, so it may be trademarked.

Question 7

Do we have enough of a consensus to change the name at this point

Question 8

@DVK I would say yes, 'The Library' is the run away winner at this point. It may change in the future but for now, looks like a winner.

Question 9

Note that "The Library" is currently winning, but room names need to be unique and that name is already in use. No other name has a significant lead at this point.

Question 10

While I like (and upvoted)Chad's suggestion ofThe Prologue, considering the fact that chat is part of the long tail of things you learn about after getting started on the main site rather than what you get up front, I thought maybeThe Epilogue would be more appropriate. For some reason that didn't have the right ring to it*, but the more common parlance seems to fit the bill:

The Appendix

Alternatively, quirky variants such asAppendix E might fit the bill just as well.

*_{R.I.P. ongoing discussion.}

Question 11

My suggestion:

The Library

Question 12

I thought chatting in a library is frowned upon.

Question 13

I was going to go with "The Library"

Question 14

@Anthon - not in eLibrary :) Also, if you don't mind, I'm calling you Madam Pince from now on :)

Question 15

@DVK Thanks. I had to look up that name, of course the rest of my family knew without that. Maybe I have to reread the (e-)books.

Question 16

I think an alternative spelling to this would be more appropriate - The Librar-E

Question 17

Unfortunately there is already another room on the network called The Library that has been in use for a couple years. In order for this to be practical, the Biblical Hermeneutics site would need to find another name for their chat.

Question 18

Based on what @Caleb has said, I think we should go withThe Librar-E, as Chad suggested. It's a nice workaround ;)

Question 19

Down voting, as we can't use this name per @Caleb

Question 20

@Chad Would you care to post your suggestion as an answer so it may be voted on?

Question 21

@Caleb Bummer on that, could have been the perfect name for this site's chat room. I don't use that site so I didn't know the name of the chat room. Heck, I didn't even know that chat room names had to be unique.

Question 22

@GrantPalin Technically I'm not sure they have to be, but for the sake of a lot of folks who are going to hang out in both it would be much appreciated if they didn't have ambiguous names in their room lists. It's also possible BH could be convinced to relinquish it. There are other options there, the 2 year history is the biggest glitch.

Question 23

The Codex [insert filler text here ;)]

Question 24

How about:

The Bitwise Press-Room

One consideration in evaluating names for themain chat room of an SE site is that there are several places where the name will be auto inserted by the system. The context of these substitutions will vary a lit but it is best not to bee too cryptic and to include some hint that the place might be a chat room it case that is not clear from context. One example is comments where you can include shorthand links like this:

This comment thread has digressed, perhaps we could talk about this in [chat].

Something like 'The Lobby' or 'The Reading Room' will substitute well while something generic like 'E-Book Enthusists' or 'Digital Press' might not fare so well.

Question 25

My vote is forDigital Press.

Question 26

The Prologue

Question 27

As a riff on both Grant Palin's answer (which I like) and Anthon's quip that you shouldn't chat in a library, I give you:

Library Lobby.

Question 28

Just for kicks,

Periodical Appurtenance

Question 29

How about:ebook enthusiasts

Question 30

I like this proposal

Question 31

How about using:Digital Books

Question 32

How about using:The Open Book

Question 33

'The Reading Room' would be my suggestion

Question 34

That feels that it s more about the content

Question 35

E-berry (word and sound play)E-Library

Question 36

How about

ebookworms?
Electronic book readers?
eBookReaders?
Digital Read?
Go eBook Save Paper?

Question 37

Please post a separate answer for each name suggestion.

Question 38

Unfortunately "worm" has a slightly different connotation within the context of computer usage.
