One thing I noticed is that many interchanges are referred to by a name - which obviously makes thing easier for endpoints.
Names that I know of are:
Wisconsin: (I think notorious for named interchanges)
Marquette (I-43/94/794 - Downtown Milwaukee)
Zoo (I-94/I-894/US 45 - West Allis)
Hale (I-43/I-894 - SW of Milwaukee)
Mitchell (I-43/I-894/I-94 - South side near Airport)
Stadium (I-94/US 41 near Miller Park)
Badger (Split of I-94 from I-39/I-90 at WIS-30 east Madison)
Cambridge (?) (I-39/90 at US 12/18)
Illinois
Circle (Downtown loop - Kennedy meets Ryan at Ike; I-90/94 at I-290/Congress Pkwy)
The (Edens) Junction (Edens and Kennedy merge I-90 joins I-94)
Cherry Valley (I-39 splits off I-90 toll road near Rockford)
Texas
Dallas High Five (I-635/US 75 northeast Dallas)
Nevada
Spaghetti Bowl (I-15/I-515 Las Vegas)
Minnesota
Crosstown Commons (I-35W meets TH-62 south of Minneapolis)
Arizona
Stack (I-10/I-17 Phoenix)
Mini-Stack (I-10/SR-51/Loop 202 Phoenix)
California
MacArthur Maze (I-80/I-580/I-880/I-980/SR-24 Oakland)
etc...
What interchanges do you know have names mentioned (media, official, whatever)
Virginia - Springfield (I-95/I-395/I-495)
Pennsylvania - Breezewood (I-70/I-76/US-30)
Hawaii has official names for the vast majority of freeway interchanges, though not the handful of interchanges between non-freeway highways. Most notable is the complex and sprawling Halawa interchange (H-1/H-3/H-201/HI 78/HI 99/HI 7241). That and a few other interchange names are frequently used by non-roadqeeks, and more often than exit numbers (like route numbers, exit numbers seem considered to be a mainland thing).
For full lists for each of Hawaii's freeways (all on Oahu), see http://www.hawaiihighways.com/oahu-freeways.htm
I-95/I-395/I-495 in Virginia is the Springfield Interchange. Some media types persist in calling it the "Mixing Bowl," a name that traditionally belonged to the even more-complicated Pentagon interchange a few miles north on I-395. The Washington Post seems to be the original culprit in this one, though a lot of the other media picked up the usage once the Post started doing it. The erroneous use of "Mixing Bowl" for Springfield has become ubiquitous enough that if you use it to refer to the Pentagon junction you'll confuse people.
The companion I-95/I-495/US-1 junction in Maryland, halfway around the Beltway, is sometimes called the College Park Interchange, though it's not a name you hear as often because it never suffered quite the same level of traffic backups (and didn't require the same massive reconstruction) as Springfield did prior to the latter's reconstruction.
A few years ago one Washington Post article claimed that the tangle of ramps in front of the Kennedy Center in DC is known to local drivers as the "Spaghetti Bowl." I've never heard this name used for that place by anyone else before or since and the Post never used it again either.

California
MacArthur Maze (I-80/I-580/I-880/I-980/SR-24 Oakland)
The MacArthur Maze is the junction of I-80, I-580 and I-880. I-980 and CA-24 are not part of this interchange.
I have also heard the I-280/US 101 interchange in San Francisco referred to as the Alemany Maze on local traffic reports.
A few more for Minnesota:
- Fish Lake Interchange (I-94/I-694/I-494 in Maple Grove)
- Spaghetti Junction (I-94/I-35E/US 52 in downtown St. Paul)
- Can of Worms (I-35/I-535/US 53 in Duluth)
in CA, close to each other:
101 at 110 is the Four-Level Interchange.
5/10/101/60 is the East LA Interchange.
5/405 in Orange County is the El Toro Y
5/57/22 is the Orange Crush
10/57/71 is the Kellogg Hill interchange (I still hear it on traffic reports)
I've also heard the 57/60 being referred to as the Diamond Bar Crunch.
14/5 Clarence Wayne Dean Memorial Interchange, no idea why I always remember that but I use to use it a lot so I guess thats why
710/210(134) - @710 split
Braintree, MA:
I-93/MA 3 split interchange (EXIT 7) is referred to as the "
Braintree Split" in various news and traffic reports.
Revere, MA:
US 1/MA 60 interchange was referred to as "
Culter Circle"; the circle being the Route 60 rotary underneath US 1 (and old abandoned I-95).
Camden/Pennsuaken, NJ:
US 30/130/NJ 38/70 interchange is still referred to as the "
Airport Circle" even though the airport in that area's been gone for decades.

Many toll roads have named interchanges. The Breezewood interchange is in reference to the PA Turnpike.
Louisville - "Spaghetti junction" = I-65/65/71
Indianapolis - "North Split" = North end of I-65/70 multiplex
"South Split" = South end of I-65/70 multiplex
Chicago W Suburbs - "Hillside Strangler" = I-88/290/294/Roosevelt Rd
Oh joy, this topic again.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Road_interchanges_in_the_United_States
The only one in Florida that I can think of that isn't something common like "spaghetti junction" or "mixing bowl" would be the Golden Glades interchange in Miami, where I-95, SR-826 (Palmetto Expy), SR-9, US-441, and the Turnpike spur all intersect.
"The (Ryan) Merge" is in Chicago that is the meeting of I-94 Bishop Ford Frwy (formerly Calumet Expy) and I-57.
"The (Ontario/Ohio) Feeder" is the exit/entrance ramps from I-90/94 Kennedy Expy to Ohio St (one way east) & from Ontario St (one way west) in Chicago.
The "Cascade" near Portage WI is I-39 South/90/94 at Wis 78/I-39 North.
The I-95/64/195 interchange in Richmond is referred to as the Bryan Park Interchange. Bryan Park is just to the north of it.
In New York City we have the Bruckner Interchange (I-95/295/278/678 and Hutchinson River Pkwy), and the Kew Gardens Interchange (I-678/Grand Central Pkwy/Interboro Pkwy).
In roadgeek circles the I-87/I-95 interchange is known as "The Corkscrew", though I've never heard this name used in common parlance. It's more properly known as the High Bridge Interchange.
I was just talking about the Grandview Triangle after a meeting today. A sign guru at one of our local highway agencies has a photo of an old I-435 SB sign approaching I-470/US 71 with an odd three-split diagrammatic arrow. (I mentioned that it looked like it was from AARoads based on the URL, but I see no Missouri/Kansas coverage.)
Exit 272 on Florida's Turnpike is called the Oakland Exchange.
The DeBarry Deltona Exit off I-4 near Sanford is called the Dirkson Interchange.
Exit 111 on I-4 is called the Saxton Boulevard Interchange.
I-4's terminus in Tampa is called the Junction, but many locals call it Malfunction Junction as some of us roadgeeks do.
I-25 and I-225 in Denver is occasionally called the "Full House".
The Dutch name every autosnelweg to autosnelweg interchange and clearly show it. Such junctions don't get exit numbers (the French don't typically give exits numbers either if you can't leave the network at that junction - and on a sequential system like these countries have it seems to me to undermine the whole point of sequential numbers.* At least the Dutch give such junctions clearly signed names).
In the UK, junction names are being put on new signs, though not on motorway mainlines it seems, just signs on sliproads where there's a diagrammatic sign of a roundabout you are going to have to navigate soon. This is odd, given that on many A roads the junction names are on mainline signage, even if the junction is grade-separated. Tons of junctions have names, from minor roundabouts to complex motorway junctions (though the latter don't tend to be signed, given the lack of at-grade junctions).
*As a Brit, I don't get this idea that some exits are intersections, some exits are interchanges - they have a different symbol and often don't have numbers - it's a Vienna convention thing and while we went for the sensible bits of the treaty, and some less sensible bits, we never ratified or fully implemented it. Interchanges are typically motorway-motorway, though certainly motorway-expressway are possibly going to be signed with the different symbol and there are some motorway-surface road junctions that get the symbol. This makes the stated reasons that the conformity zealots try and persuade Brits to want this clutter on their signs void (and they were poor to begin with anyway). You cannot predictably go "I want to go 5 big interchanges, then take the next exit" just from looking at a map.
I'm aware of a few named interchanges in Spain, having done a lot of the work for the Clinched Highways site.
Oregon: It's not officially called such, but the Ross Island Interchange/Maze (I-5, 405, US 26, OR 10, 43, 99W, SW Harbor Dr and other surface streets)
Idaho: The Wye (I-84, 184, US 30)
Quote from: Twinsfan87- Spaghetti Junction (I-94/I-35E/US 52 in downtown St. Paul)
And US 12, MN 55, 65, CH 122 and Cedar Ave.

What interchanges do you know have names mentioned (media, official, whatever)
Just about every interchange in the Columbia, SC area is named after someone or some group. SC 302 and I-26's diamond interchange is the Doolittle Raiders Interchange for instance...
The CA-1/CA-17 interchange in Santa Cruz is called the "Fish Hook," partly because it looks like one.
It's also rather hard to get from Highway 1 to Ocean Street. First, you have to make a sharp turn and have to go to the leftmost lanes to exit.

Braintree, MA:
I-93/MA 3 split interchange (EXIT 7) is referred to as the "Braintree Split" in various news and traffic reports.

Many toll roads have named interchanges. The Breezewood interchange is in reference to the PA Turnpike.
Kind of abbreviated to "The Split" (Serius-XM) gave traffic reports for I-93 from the "Tip" (O'Neal Tunnel) to the Split"
PA Turnpike has a name for every interchange - it's on the BGSs (NE Extension as well)
Oklahoma City: Amarillo Junction (I-40/I-44), Dallas Junction (I-35/I-40 west), Ft Smith Junction (I-35/I-40 east).
One would think we might theoretically end up with a Tulsa Junction, Wichita Junction, or Lawton Junction but those names aren't used on the interchanges they might logically be used for.
Well, in this area, there's the 610 Split (the western interchange between I-10 and I-610 in New Orleans), less often the 610 Merge (the eastern I-10/I-610 partial interchange) and the Megachange (I-10/US 90 Business/US 90, also in New Orleans - not used in the media or traffic reports, but rather by some locals).
Very few of the other interchanges here are referred to by special names that I've heard, often just referred to as the (crossing roadway) exit, like the Causeway exit or the Airline exit.

The term,
Braintree Split has been around a lot longer.
I'm well aware of the PA Turnpike having names for all of its interchanges; I was simply pointing out that
many toll roads have named interchanges whether they're called out on the signs or not.
Many European countries more or less consistently name and sign their freeway-to-freeway interchanges. Examples are Belgium, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Luxembourg, Switzerland and Austria. These interchange names are widely known. It fits in the somewhat European tradition to have names for the exits. Though most countries use exit numbers as well, the names are generally more well-known than the numbers.
A German traffic report will likely say "A3 Köln richtung Frankfurt, zwischen Kreuz Leverkusen und Köln-Dellbrück 5 kilometer stau" (A3, Cologne towards Frankfurt, between motorway interchange Leverkusen and Cologne-Dellbrück 5 kilometers stationary traffic). Similar reports can be heard in the Netherlands and Belgium, though in Belgium they sometimes omit the length of the traffic jam. Some radio stations use delays instead of length, but this proves to be unreliable in case of stationary traffic.

101 at 110 is the Four-Level Interchange.
5/10/101/60 is the East LA Interchange.
And not too far away from both of those is 10/101, the San Bernardino Split (US 60's former western terminus).
I-20/59 crossing I-65 in Birmingham is known as "Malfunction Junction"
Can of Worms - I-590/I-490/NY 590 (also incorporates Winton Rd, University Ave, East Ave, Blossom Rd, with nearby interchanges with Penfield Rd and Highland Ave).
590 Split - I-390/I-590
The Big X, I-74/80/280, near Moline-Rock Island, Illinois.
All of the Illinois Tollway interchanges have names (most don't have exit numbers yet) based on the destination or the cross route/street. The toll plazas also carry names as well as plaza numbers.
The Indiana Toll Road Exits also have names:
Exit 0: State Line (fmr Exit 0) - signed as Indianapolis Blvd

Nevada
Spaghetti Bowl (I-15/I-515 Las Vegas)
What interchanges do you know have names mentioned (media, official, whatever)
Nevada actually has two "Spaghetti Bowl" interchanges: The aforementioned I-15/I-515/US 93/US 95 interchange in Las Vegas, and also the I-80/US 395 (hidden I-580) interchange in Reno. Both Spaghetti Bowls are referred to as such by traffic reporters, media, and also by NDOT.
An unofficial/colloquial named interchange:
The "Rainbow Curve" - US 95/Summerlin Pkwy/Rainbow Blvd (SR 595) in Las Vegas. So named because US 95 makes a 90° curve as it passes under Rainbow Blvd. Sometimes referred to by NDOT, but mostly used by locals and traffic reporters.
Nevada also has some named interchanges based on freeway exits and/or former communities. These are older references that may appear on some maps and NDOT publications, but are generally unknown by the public. For example, the I-15/US 93 interchange north of Las Vegas is the Garnet Interchange, named I believe for a former townsite that was located near the junction. NDOT names many regular highway junctions in a similar fashion.
I-10/I-17-US60 The Stack
I-10-US60/(I-410/510)/I-17-US60 The Split
I-10/AZ51/Loop 202 Short Stack
US-60/Loop 202 SuperSanTan
I know its nothing official, but I know a few up in Northern Houston call all beltway 8 to another freeway(The two I-10 and the I-45 north mainly) the hill exchange. Due to that being a 4 level stack and that top ramp being the highest elevation a person can drive to in the city. Since the city is almost all flat land.
From the southern half of Illinois (some of these may just be names I've heard IDOT use):
* The PSB Complex: I-55/64/70 at IL 3 and the Tudor/Pigott ramps
* The Tri-Level: I-55/70 at I-64
* The Three I: I-55 at I-70 and I-270
Luis EcheverrÃa Ãlvarez & Paseo de la Refomra a.k.a. Fundadores, in Saltillo (Coahuila) is known as 'El Indio'.
I only know this because I recently spent a lot of time looking through 7,631,258,305,022½ SkyscraperCity posts about renovations along that corridor, and kept wondering where the heck this oft-referred-to street named El Indio was located. :pan:
In Columbus:
670 Split: I-70 & I-670
Spring-Sandusky: I-670 & OH 315
Fort Hayes: I-71 & I-670
Mound-Sandusky or West Split: I-70 & I-71 & OH 315
East Split: I-70 & I-71
I apologize for bumping this thread, but we do have one here in NW Indiana that does have an official name, though it is rarely used.
The Northwest Connector: the ramp connecting I-65 North to I-80/94 West, and connecting I-80/94 East to I-65 South (with Ridge Road added in 2008).

IMHO, formal names make it much easier to identify major interchanges when discussing them with highway guys as well as the public at large.
Anyways, Wisconsin has named interchanges all over, many official, many others unofficial.
The last one that you mention is the Beltline interchange.
Also, the Zoo Interchange is in the City of Milwaukee.

Pearl, Miss. has The Stack (I-20/I-55/US 49)
I-10/US 49 in Gulfport, Miss. is officially the Castiglia Interchange.

The "Kellogg Interchange" where I-10, California 57 and California 71 meet
The "Newhall Interchange" where I-5, I-210 and California 14 all tie into each other
Does southern California still have the "Slauson cut-off" (for those of you who remember Johnny Carson as Art Fern)?
The I-35/80 systems interchanges in Des Moines: The East and West Mixmasters.
In addition to the previously mentioned Braintree Split (which lately I always hear referred to as just "the Split" on radio traffic reports), MA also has the South Bay Interchange where I-90/MassPike meets I-93, though this name doesn't see anywhere near as widespread of usage.
I've always thought out of the cities I've been to, Boston has the most confusing traffic reporting nomenclature. For example, a common backup on I-93 southbound leaving the city in the evening is referred to along the lines of "The Expressway south's jammed from the O'Neil Tunnel to the Split".
The MassPike, unlike previously mentioned toll roads, doesn't have named interchanges, though they are occasionally referred to by the town they serve, like I hear "the Palmer exit" for Exit 8, or "the East Boston interchange" for the end of I-90 at MA 1A.

Yes, it's the 90 freeway from the 405 north of LAX.
Don't forget about the Eisenhower Interchange in Harrisburg, PA (I-83/I-283/US-322).
I'm also surprised that no one has mentioned Akron's Central Interchange (I-76/I-77/OH-8) yet.
Colorado has three named interchanges, but only one is commonly known.

101/170/134 is the Hollywood Split. 210/57 is the Glendora Curve. I'm surprised the 405/101 interchange doesn't have a name.
