In the end, it's up to you to decide what you want your organization to be. You don't have to change your name and/or your motto. I'm just sharing that it's typically looked down upon to have the same info as another org. Nobody will care that it was by happenstance. Look through other threads on this board. All people will see is that you were founded after another organization with the same information. I would worry more about the motto than the name.
In terms of national expansion, a lot of organizations do NOT have requirements on the number of members in the chapter at a time. Look at multicultural organizations and other organizations that are more national than starting your own organization, but local enough so that they don't have a numbers requirement. I don't know much about NPC, but I believe that they usually have chapters in the 20's? There are a lot of orgs that don't have that type of requirement.
