Everyone knows the crew lounge in the bow of the Enterprise is called Ten Forward, a droll if not terribly imaginative play on words. Recently I was writing a new story which takes place on board my ship (the Odysseus) and I thought to myself that surely we can do better than that.
So I'm throwing it open to the forum -- what would you name the crew lounge in the bow of your ship?

Atoz. I never really thought of this one. It would depend on what kind of ship I had. On the Ent-D, 10 forward seemed like a good name for the lounge being in the front of the ship on deck 10. I'm sure other better names could be thought of as well as some not so good names. I'm sure that if another class of starship who's forward lounge was just above the navigational deflector could be called the "Main deflector"

I never thought about it either, until I started a story and wrote down "Ten Forward". Then it just occured to me what a stupid name it was, really. So I wracked my brain for another name.
Since the ship is shaped liked a flattened saucer and the lounge is in the very, very front, I decided on "The Leading Edge" -- unless somebody comes up with a better name, that is.

Anything? [opens his mouth, then closes it again] No... I'm not going to say it.
