Ten-Forward Nomenclature

Hypothetical situation in the Star Trek Universe (for my fic):

Say you are in Starfleet, serving aboard a Galaxy class or Sovereign class vessel...

Say your captain decides that the lounge in deck ten, forward compartment needs a more creative name than that, so he creates a contest to find one, where the crew submits their own ideas.

I would like to know what your idea for a name would be. I would appreciate any help.

Examples:
Enterprise D and E call theirs Ten-forward.
The Challenger crew calls theirs Shuttlebay Four. (Galaxy class vessels have 3 actual shuttlebays)
First three I came up with (for the captain to react to the next day in his office) were Olympus, The Birdcage and The Watering Hole.

The Lounge.

It describes the place perfectly. Although I guess you were going for something a bit fancier.

In the fic, it is a creativity contest

Studio 69 is my favorite entry so far....

Ten Forward means it's on deck 10 and the front... I don't think it's called Ten Forward on the E-E.

If the crews were simply transfered between the two ships then its possible the name simply stuck, even if its technicaly incorrect.

In the New Frontier books it's the Team Room.

How about Rec Room?
Short for 'recreational room'.

How about '4th Shift'?

(I am thinking there are 3 duty shifts - Alpha, Beta, Delta)

"The Wreck Room" - because when the saucer crashlands, it's the first to hit.
