So, I'm reading a book about English people, and it says that calling your room a "Lounge" is a distinctly middle class term. Instead, the upper classes prefer the term "sitting room." More formally, it would be the "drawing room," but the upper classes apparently find this to be slightly pretentious, so prefer "sitting room."

So I think the Lounge should be renamed "The Drawing Room" cuz the people here are slightly pretentious

What would you rename it if you could?

Lordy no. I've just moved oooop north from being a southern softy for years. There is simply no reason for the number of words for a bread roll. It's a roll. Although I do chuckle when I treat myself to naughty brekkie on a Friday morning as I have to ask for a sausage muffin - it's the little things that make me smile!

As for renaming our fab lounge, the fairground would be apt, or the lovely loony bin.

Well mines at the front of the house so it's the front room, if it was at the back then it would be the lounge.

I grew up spending most of my life in the sitting room - usually practicing the violin and stuff like that. The rest of the family were in other rooms. We had an old house that had been in the family for several generations and I guess the language followed. Now I live alone in a small place and call them nothing.
