Our meeting rooms are named after nearby national forests.
Our labs, however, are Stonehenge, Area 51, Cobalt-60, and Starfish Prime, which are at least nominally creepy.

OOh! How about Transformers?

"In a meeting in Optimus Prime. Back 10:30."

No. Several offices I worked at here are named after either neighborhoods or parks in the city.

It leads to a several second catch up when someone says "I will see you in Central Park in an hour."

I quite like the idea of naming them after killer robots from space.

In one of the places I work for they have cities for names. Not the most original of ideas but fun when someone asks "can you tell me where Seoul is" and you go "somewhere in Asia as far as I remember, har-har".

The other place is even less original. They have numbers. Like Building 162, Room 3.123. Blergh. But at least easier to find.

The University has letters and numbers. One of the buildings is called Murphy and its abbreviation is MY so you get to go to lectures in MY300.

We have two boardrooms in my branch office, and they're named after former Clerks of the Assembly. I have no idea what other meeting rooms around here are named after -- probably just a room number. One of the government buildings across the street has a number of meeting rooms named after various bodies of water (Ontario lakes and rivers).

Another favourite in NZ is the waka that the original people arrived in. I went to two schools that had these as their House names.
