Ohhh I've owned 50% of this list
Ours are named after rivers. It's rubbish.
The all have the outlook prefix "C=" which I think is a missed opportunity to name one of them "sqrt E/M"

Gronda gronda.

Or,

Doogy rev. 😉
No one gets snacks unless they can correctly guess " How many Argonds are around the pond?"
Well for a start you ought to call them "Imagineering suites". Meeting rooms are so last decade.
Geeky numbers, anyone?

Do you have other offices? One of the most confusing places I have worked had its HQ meeting rooms named after its other sites (presumably in a pretence of inclusivity). However it created much confusion on meeting invites when the meeting said it was in the Munich Room or when looking for Dave, and someone said "He's in New York".
Given its a tech company you can possibly achieve the same "hysteria" by naming them after local coffee shops...
A Bath based company my firm acquired named it's servers after famous serial killers. That'd be eye opening, but probably not good for your HR record as a suggestion!

One small company I worked for named their Novell mail servers (that ages me a bit) after Cup Final Referees. Which caused much hilarity* with such choice phrases as 'Can someone unblock Arthur Ellis'. It also made new members of staff look a little wary about possible initiation rituals 🙂
* possibly over-stating the amount of hilarity actually caused

I started down this road too. Had Hal, Orac, Holly, then started to flounder after Andromeda. Eddie from H2G2 perhaps? Then figured it was a bit too obscure so dropped it.
What's "Tim"

Tomorrow People innit?......or the Speaking Clock?

A company I do business with has meeting rooms named after famous people from Cheltenham including Arthur "Bomber" Harris!

Yeah, naming of servers is a whole other ball game. I once worked at a place where the Domain was SPRINGFIELD and all the servers were Simpsons' characters. I took great delight in naming a new core router as "Wiggum" on the grounds that it directed traffic.
Most places I've seen in recent years have more mundane approaches like "BU-DC01," it's a lost art.
Famous star ships?
Someone at work suggested that. It's a great idea I think, “Your 1-to-1 this year will be in The Death Star, see you at 12:30.”
We know what's best for everybody room
Underlings wage reduction room
Court Jester performance appraisal room
The executives cost reduction and bonus extravaganza room
The customers always right and miscellaneous bullshit room
The proprietary standards and brand power struggle at customers expense room
Could be shortened to punchy acronyms eh!
I had some meetings at a Unilever office. Meeting rooms were named after products and decorated as such. The Pot Noodle room was very restrained but the Marmite room just looked like someone smeared a dirty protest across the walls.

Ummm.. I'm going to need you to go ahead and name those rooms:
Lumbergh, Gibbons, Milton, Smykowski, Bob and Bob
Okay champ? That'd be great.
Matt, surely one of those rooms should be "The Shrubbery"?

I was based at the 'Macdonald Avimore Resort' in Aviemore for a job recently. There are several hotels in the complex - one of which is, for clarity, called 'Aviemore' The also have a hotel called 'Morlich' and in their conference facility a conference room called 'Morlich' these of course aren't in the same building, but to save confusion they're right next to each other.
While I was based there I needed to have an urgent package couriered to me overnight - it arrived the next morning - ace. It then took 5 days to find its way from whoever signed for it to me - by which time it was obviously useless.

on the off-site meeting room, I worked at ICL Dalkeith for a couple of summers. Site code was DAL-01. DAL-02 was The Cross Keys, outside the front gates.
Or, named after Iain M Banks GSVs or similar. Done already by Elon Musk.
