How do you name your lights? (lemmy.world)

I’m having hard time finding names for the different lights that make sense when I ask my voice assistant to control. I end up with ceiling light, but I have more than one ceiling light, and saying Living room ceiling light is a mouthful. I tried giving funny names but I keep getting confused which is which. How did you name your lights?

Mine are where they are stationed:

Front Door Lamp, Patio Door Lamp, Desk Lamp and Bedroom Lamp. We don't have many obviously:)

So, left of couch as you look at it is next to front door so light there, other side, by patio, you guessed it patio light. And the rest are pretty much bland like that.
