+ 1 googolplex to the googolplex power to that. It would only be a matter of time before some piece of company name data came along and broke any code you might have that works. Anything less than tying each and every company name to an "approved" abbreviation is doomed to eventual failure. Yes, it's gonna be a PITA, but better some small PITA now than some major PITA when existing code breaks in a way that no one notices for a while, and then when it finally actually gets noticed, it's kind of "too late", so to speak. You do NOT want to be the cause of that.
