Chat rooms of other sites have oftentimes witty names, e. g. Interpersonal Skills has The Awkward Silence, Academia got The Ivory Tower and The Workplace offers its users The Water Cooler.
On the one hand, renaming Parenting's chat room could increase its appeal (not so generic anymore, maybe a bit funny), on the other hand it may appear less serious.
So, is there interest in renaming the chat room or should it stay as it is?
I decided to not combine asking for suggestions - not renaming would then have been an answer Parenting - because it's probably easier to discuss it first in a separate post. After all, the site is pretty old and it was never renamed, so maybe there is no interest. In the past there seems to have been initiatives to increase participation. Renaming it may help, a bit.
