The name given when it was created. The usual rule for managing case 
insensitive entities  (e.g. in Mac and Windows filesystems) is to 
preserve case when creating, and ignore case when comparing. Therefore 
clients and serverse should be case-insensitive when comparing chat-room 
names, but the server should always send packets using the case 
originally used.
