This brings to mind a supposedly true story told to me when I was a student
by a Florida native:

Colleges and universities in Florida, as in other places, are commonly
referred to by their initials--UF, FSU, UCF, etc.  In the days when Cape
Canaveral was still called Cape Kennedy,  a proposal was made to open a new
school there-- Florida University at Cape Kennedy.  Needless to say, the
proposed name was quickly changed when someone noticed what the acronym
would be.
