My question is when we do send names to the temple for ordinances, where do the names end up? How do

Right now, when you share to the temple it goes to the temple in whose district you are assigned to attend. So my shared names go to the Houston Temple. There is some sharing with other temples if one temple has too little names it can borrow from another temple.
There is talk of making a master one temple list that all temples draw from (Ron Tanner who is a project manager at FamilySearch has discussed this in his FB lives). That would help because some temples have names waiting longer than other temples depending how busy the temples are. The only exception to the master temple list would be certain languages, They want to make sure things like names for example in Chinese characters go to a temple where they can be read and pronounced.
Hope that helps,
Cindy

Ok... as of a year ago, you should have noticed split ordinance work notifications; meaning baptism done in one temple, confirmation at another, even different nations. The algorithms were adjusted so any work you share with the temple probably will not be at your temple. Think of it like just in time deliveries. UTAH temples need higher volume of names yet other temples don’t have the patronage to support that temple. So we are now sharing the wealth! And all “deliveries” are just in time.
Yes, for years your work was kept at your temple. With all the refurb work being done (eg my Washington DC temple now 3.5 years closed ), why hold up the work?
one more change now in place... your printed cards will not be returned to you by the temple. And you will have to make an appointment for EVERY ordinance... you may get lucky and complete baptism, confirmation and endowment...at same time. Don’t count on it due to back log created by COVID.
Lastly, had a post stake conference meeting with Exec Dir. of all Temple and FH, Elder Kevin Hartman yesterday. He said in a matter of months, the Church will have digitized all microfiche records buried in the Wasatch mountains. .. years ahead of schedule.

I hope this is the case, since the temple district I live in has a smaller temple with limited days and hours for temple sessions. So many in our area bring their own family names and so the temple submitted names must take a very long time to cycle through. A single sister in my ward has been submitting all her male names to the temple since ward members are all working on their own family names. She has some of her submitted male names just waiting for their ordinances to be done for years now.
