Group Chat IdeasSociety and neighbours group names
Names for the apartment, colony or lane group. Put your society's name in front of any of them.

Start with the address, end with the smile
A society or lane group is a notice board first. Members search for it when the water stops or a parcel is lost, so the building or colony name must come first and in full: "Green Park Residents", "Block B Buzz", "Gali No. 4 Padosi". The friendly half of the name is a bonus. In a large society, add what the group is for, because there will soon be several: Residents (official notices), Buy and Sell, Kids and Play, Cars and Parking.
Names that sound welcoming matter here more than anywhere, because neighbours of every age, language and background are added without choosing each other. Plain words such as "Padosi", "Neighbours" and "Residents" include everybody.
What to keep out of the name
Avoid names that take a side in a society matter ("Save Our Parking"), names for owners that leave out tenants, and anything that points to one religion, community or region in a mixed building. Do not put the full postal address or flat numbers in the name of a group that outsiders, such as vendors or agents, may be added to. And resist joke names about the committee or the secretary; the group will need those people's help one day.
A society group needs rules more than most. Use the ready society group rules (also in हिंदी), and read how to stop a fight in a group before the first argument about parking.
How to choose a good group name
- Say what the group is. A new member should understand it from the name.
- Keep it short. Long names are cut off in the chat list; about 25 characters show fully.
- Make it yours. Add a surname, a city, a year or a flat block: "Sharma Parivaar Express", "Block B Buzz".
- Keep it kind. A name that makes fun of one member stops being funny quickly.
