You can't take a name from any other organization, for national/international orgs, they are trademarked (/copyrighted ?) names. There are many local and regional orgs as well, and that's kind of in bad taste to use the same ones. You can't use an established org's letters without consent from nationals (which is like the headquarters..).
I'll let the more seasoned professionals of GC take over if they wish though, because I don't know much about how national org's run things.

I definitely wouldn't do this though.
