My personal favorite acronym like that definitely goes to AROS (Amiga Research Operating System) that if I remember correctly had to - for legal reasons - change the name. Rather than come up with a completely new name, went with AROS Research Operating System.

Edit: name change was apparently to avoid any trademark issues with the Amiga name.

Acorn/ARM apparently did much the same thing.
