'Masha's room' - мАшина комната, 'in Masha's room' - в мАшиной комнате

Yeah, what's up with that? I see that structure sometimes too, Why does the name of the person change and what is the rule for this change?

How do you say Igor's room? Игорина комната? Sounds a little femenine to me...

Игора комната = Igor's room
в Игорой комнатe = in Igor's room

Names have cases too.
oops - sorry, I made a typo

It only works for the nouns of first declention when the endings are "a" or "я", regardless of a gender.
How do you say Igor's room? -комната Игоря
Misha's room -Мишина комната

Игора комната = Igor's room
в Игорой комнатe = in Igor's room

It's not so correct, unfortunately.

How do you say Igor's room? -комната Игоря
Misha's room -Мишина комната

And the rule is for the -а -я endings? Add -ина??

Анна - Аннина (Анина)
Валя - Валина
Собака - Собакина?

Комната Игоря
Игорин комната ?????

Комната Маши and Машина комната are both correct and mean the same thing. Which expression to use depends on the context and on the person's speaking manner.

Комната Игоря _correct
Игорин комната ????? - wrong!!!

Yes, -ина for feminine nouns, -ин for masculine nouns, - инo for neuter nouns. (ванина ручка, кошкин дом, катино платье.)

Игорева комната.
В Игоревой комнате.

Пока не прибежал alexei и не начал опять обвинять меня в том, что и эти примеры "doesn't look natural at all" скажу, что лично я перефразировал бы эти предложения так:

Комната Игоря.
В комнате Игоря.

На мой взгляд, эти варианты звучат лучше. Хотя вот 'Машина комната' и 'комната Маши' - примерно одинаково.

Thanks DennisM.

How would you say "the car's room"?
Just a hypothetical question since машина = car.

A car cannot have a room, unanimate objects are not allowed to own real estate.
How would you say "the car's room"? - гараж

Grammaticaly speaking, it is allowed to say the car's room. Kwatts wanted to know how to tell the difference between the car's room and Masha's room.

1 Машина комната
2 комната машины

1 can never mean the car's room, because Машина would have to be in genetive, leading to case number 2.

You could also say "машинина комната"
