Skipping lunch might seem like a smart idea for your wallet, and eating at your desk might seem better for productivity.
However, research shows that taking a formal lunch break is good for creativity and can improve your cognitive capacity.[1]
Physically getting outside during your lunch break can even lead to breakthroughs in problem-solving.[2]
Lunch groups can be professional and devoted to learning, or they can be informal groups of friends or classmates.
Even if you’re using the opportunity to “lunch and learn,” the relaxed environment and social interaction will be a benefit to you.[3]

How to Create a Good Lunch Group Name
As you can see from our lists above, fun lunch group names and “Lunch and Learn” alternatives are numerous.
Creating a good name goes beyond finding words related to food — you can tailor your lunch group name to the field you work in, the interests of your friend group, or the topic of a particular lunch-and-learn session.
Of course, all of the names you consider should be appropriate for the environment, be it work, school, or a totally casual meeting between friends.
Even at work and school, that doesn’t mean you should entirely avoid humor! If your lunch group is lively or your company has a more casual office culture, use puns and relatable jokes to create a fun group name.
The essential tips to keep in mind when naming your lunch group are:
- Keep it simple. Short and catchy names will make your lunch group easy to market if you’re hosting a lunch and learn session. Casual lunch groups will also appreciate fun and straightforward group names over options that are complex and wordy.
- Keep it fun. No one wants their lunch break to be dull! Choosing a fun name will make your group more excited to meet up.
- Keep it clean. Even if you’re just meeting with friends, it’s usually a good idea to avoid profanity or offensive language in your group name.
