There were a few acronym snickers when the new company Global Authentication Inc. first came out.

Reminds me of the lines from BBC sit com 'Red Dwarf': "I think we're all beginning to lose sight of the real issue here, which is: what are we going to call ourselves? My own personal preference is "The Committee for the Liberation and Integration of Terrifying Organisms and their Rehabilitation Into Society." One drawback with that--the abbreviation is C.L.I.T.O.R.I.S."
Our local community college was to be named after Samuel Holland, an important local historical figure. But the thought of the initials for "Samuel Holland Institute of Technology" came to bear, and it was decided that just "Holland College" was the better choice.
