A name search for a coworking is more than a name search which will look good on marketing materials. It is a symbol of the owners strategy. Do they want to be more business oriented or adventure, fun? Do they want to have a "*laissez faire, laissez passe*" attitude or give importance to rules and structures. Name will not only give a message to community but also to the founders. Name will summarize who they want to be and lead their way.
It is not a magic key to solve all the problems for sure, but an important element of starting a company. Imagine "google" named itself as something like "Business Search and Resarch Systems" I doubt they would be who they are now.
