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. :)

[Poll #1094163]

What do the percentages in the bar chart represent? We have 75%, 50%, 25%, and 25%.

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).

To be fair to [livejournal.com profile] 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.

We had a room like that in the old apartment...we just called it the Back room.

If you're going to call it that (I peeked at the answers) consistently, you should insist on one of these and one of these. And maybe one of these. Er, I mean these.
