It's nice that you have updated your information on your website - but to state that omicron means "small" is to miss the point that omicron does not MEAN small - the name for the greek letter is derived from the latin for "small o" in contrast to omega (which is a larger O).
The word "omicron" MEANS a letter in the greek alphabet. It is not the "obvious" choice - it is the correct one.
Perhaps your ministry should consider another name, given the fact that you wish to set yourselves apart from the GLOs who exist. Maybe use your "D.I.V.A." - you would have to ignore the origin of the word "diva", though.
I sincerely think that if you did that, you would not have to spend time explaining what you are NOT and can concentrate on what you ARE - and thus would avoid the need to insult GLO.
