Who Names These Things?

Our hospital is replacing it's horribly complicated and clunky purchase ordering system. They are replacing it with a product called, Requisition Self Service (RSS). A lot of the communication sent via email keep referring to it as RSS. Now am I the only geek in the hospital who keeps getting confused when I read RSS in the subject line of the email? Why can't we have a name like R Self Service or Req SS, anything but RSS.

If I get confused, I wonder how many of my users are going to start asking me about RSS feeds and how that ties into the hospital ordering system.
