What should (or could) this room be called?

Before I worked at the university, I worked in this room. Now, I don't much, though it's where I do household filing, bill-paying, computer stuff, hobby stuff, some reading, and playing with the pooch (and d.)

It has: a desk, file drawers, files, computer equipment, my books (those which by mutual consent aren't in the shared rooms of the house- my science-fiction (as opposed to d's science-fiction), computer books, howto books, and so on), CDs, a stereo, a bit of hobby equipment, and miscellaneous storage in the closets.

There's one office chair, and I've been meaning to add an armchair as well.

The question arises because d. and I have different names for the room, and according to one of us, only one of them is correct. ;) This of this poll as along the lines of [livejournal.com profile] frankie_ecap's domestic strife polls. :)

I picked choices that reflect names I would be inclined to use for such a room. It sounds like the optimal thing to do might be to paint it purple and green and call it Barney's room, though there may be other resolutions I've not considered as seriously (like calling it the boo-dwah because every civilised home should have a boo-dwah).

Painting it: has been considered. Barney colours: has not been considered. Well, I suppose strictly speaking, now it has, but then I'd have to call it the eggplant room, and I'd never go into it again.

Boo'dwah: fits dan's room upstairs a bit more, since I don't even have a fainting couch, let alone a bit of bedding.

...Oh but wait, according to the dictionary, boudoir can be a bed room or private room. Literally, "sulking place". Huh. That would be my choice if I liked to sulk.
