Poll: what should this room be called?

[da]

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 frankie_ecap's domestic strife polls. :)

To be fair to rhythmaning, I have only had one domestic strife poll.

And he has now magnificently redeemed himself, and I am about to post about that.

This is an utterly unfair poll without telling us what you want the answer to be. I would never do that.

Ah, the vagaries of life.

I've put in my responses, which I suppose I could've without tipping the results, since I don't mind any particular names for an object as long as the people involved know what they're talking about. (I think I once wrote about armchairs, sofas and loveseats; though of course I can't find it now. Summary: I call every one of those things a sofa, and d. corrects me every time, bless him.)

If you know what you think the right answer is, why have a poll? Surely the point of the poll is to use the wisdom of crowds to find the answer.

That is, of course, if you believe that crowds are wise.

...if you choose your crowd properly.

Also, crowds are apparently good at madding.
