Help me win a meal for two! Name our three office/classroom buildings. Details are
I work at a church. We have three bungalow-type buildings that we are doing some construction/refurbishing work on. Currently, they are named with letters of the alphabet (D, E & F if you must know), but the PTB have decided to rename them. Hence, the contest.
Rules are "the names should bear some relation to each other, and there must be some relationship between the names of the buildings and the people housed there or the activities taking place within the buildings."
Buildings D & E will be just offices. Buidling F will be two meeting/classrooms.
Again, I work at a church. Thanks!

Do buildings "A", "B" and "C" have names? (to which DE&F could be linked?)

What denomination? We need to know if saints are allowed, etc.

I'm not sure we should be assuming that the names are better if they're biblical in character -- not the least because of uncertainty as to denomination. I took the reminder about churchiness to mean that they couldn't be too dirty.
Anyway, in that spirit: Winken, Blinken, and Nod. The last being the one where meetings take place.

Response by poster: Non-denominational Protestant church.
Yes, not too dirty please, but churchy is fine. Saints, not so much.
Keep 'em coming!! :)

Response by poster: Oh yeah..
Buildings A, B & C are called by more functional names, so let's leave that out of it :)

probably not suitable for a church:
Destiny, Eternity & Fate (keeping the D, E, F scheme because people will call them that for years no matter what you rename them).
some combination of Calvin, Cranmer, Knox, Luther, Wycliffe, & Hus.
Worms, Speyer & Wittenberg
