Isn't it somewhat impossible to cater to everybody's impressions? Why 
not go for descriptiveness, such as may be packed into a maximum of 8 
letters.

"Official" is absolutely empty as a description, especially without 
timestamp. Now, "academy" is slightly more descriptive, pointing to the 
origin of entity.

Now, folks here dislike "academy" and want year-stamp, too. Fine.

And if future will bring "taraskievic" purges in Academy, well, then I'm 
sure the future stuff of Registry will take care of namings. Why bother 
with might-beens now?
