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.
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.
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).

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."
