Some places name their lines after the 2 termini at each end though I've
never liked that since its long winded and not much use unless you actually
need to go to one of them.

In practice they often get shortened: the Bakerloo was originally the
Baker Street and Waterloo Railway, and the Piccadilly started life as
the Brompton and Piccadilly Circus Railway (all four being termini when
first planned).

The Waterloo and City is almost a case of a name still reflecting the
two termini.
