Hot take: How about not coming up with a name at all? Or rather, keeping the existing name of whatever location you end up getting. (If Lighthaven had done this, it would’ve called itself “The Rosegarden Center” or something like that.)
This is meant to convey that you’re serious about getting stuff done and not just fantasizing about what you might do later before you’ve even done anything yet. It suggests confidence that your reputation will speak for itself under any name. (E.g. everyone knows about the “Chatham House Rule”, but the building had already been called “Chatham House” long before the organization that came up with that rule moved in.)
My version of this is “don’t try to come up with a name until after you’ve found the venue, because the venue will have some kind of character that lends itself to some names better than others.”
