My first big kid job had the best meeting room names. It was a small company so there were only a handful of rooms to remember and only one floor.

Triangle: It was triangular.

Rainier: View (or maybe painting?) of Mt. Rainier.

Elvis: Blue Suede Chairs.

My current office uses normal floor and room numbers for conference room reservations but one of them has an "OUTATIME" CA plate taped to the window and a flux capacitor poster on the wall. We refer to it as "DeLorean".

My office uses names of famous scientists and engineers for the conference rooms although not all of them are named. At one point, these rooms were listed in Outlook by the person's name instead of the room number. So you would have this massive list of names and have no idea if that room is the one on the next floor or on the other side of the country. They recently redid the conference room directory so now you when you sort alphabetically you can see state, building, floor, room number, then whatever cutesy name the room has.
