Hi Tegan....Generally speaking, each organization comes up with their own 
naming conventions as each organization is unique.  We used a function 
based naming convention when we redid ours about a year ago.  Here are 
some of the common record series which we have used and may be common to 
all organizations.  Please be aware that our structure includes many other 
names which are pertinent to our organization. 

Administrative Services
Agreements
Building Maintenance
Communications & Marketing Services
Customer Service
Executive Administration
Financial Services
Fund Raising Programs
HR & Safety Services
Information Technology & Systems
Insurance Related Management
Legislation/Legal Opinions
Records Management

I would suggest that there may me an organization structure put together 
at some time by senior management or even a task list which would identify 
what your organization does.  For many of the other naming conventions you 
may find you have to visit  or call each group.  As our organization is 
comprehensive in nature, and I wanted to get it right the first time, this 
took us considerable time and may for you.  I allowed each group to 
provide input into those naming conventions.  In the long run, they have 
to be happy with what is chosen as they will be using and accessing our 
content management system.  Overall, this has worked well for us.

Hope this helps!!
