I completed a manuscript (I haven't yet sent it for editing, representation and/or publishing yet) recently. I wrote a mystery involving members of several GLO's as the victims (don't worry, I made sure that the GLOs in the story were portrayed in the most positive light). When naming the GLO's, I tried my best to ensure that there were no actual GLOs with the letter combinations that I created. I wrote a disclaimer that the GLO's in the story were fictitious and that I went out of my way to ensure I did just that and apologize if there is an actual GLO with any of those letters as precaution .

I think that it is a wonderful idea that you are going to write the story. However, my advice is to write a disclaimer stating that you made the effort in creating original letter combos and apologize if there is a group out there that exists.

Ariesrising has a great website about GLOs and letter combos. I know she posted in this thread, but I can't stress enough about its useful. Here it is (forgive me, Ariesrising for posting it again): http://www3.telus.net/ariesrising/greekorgs.html .
