After the time, the weather, and maybe your TikTok, what on your phone demands your attention more than your favourite group chat? No matter what type of chat participant you are—the silent observer, the viral video aficionado, maybe the reality TV quote machine—if you're in an active group chat that stays yapping, chances are it hovers at the top of your notifications (or at least the top of the messaging app, if you're a Do Not Disturb lover like me) most of the time.

Given how often you engage with it, doesn't this platform for enriching and important conversations (or for sharing TikToks and tea about distant acquaintances) deserve a unique name that fits the bill? Well, we're here to help with that. Below, you'll find 110 ideas for every kind of group chat—whether it's with your favourite coworkers, your family, or your tried and true inner circle. Take a look and steal whichever one you'd like!

For your general friend group chat:

Ok so these are for your friends (but not true inner circle), or maybe new friends you've just made. You want to get the good vibes going, but don't have any inside jokes or references yet and therefore need a classic and fun name that will work for all occasions.
