If anyone is looking for a name for a nuclear risk reduction/ x-risk prevention org, consider (The) Petrov Institute. It’s catchy, symbolic, and sounds like it has prestige.
Perhaps this downside could be partly mitigated by expanding the name to make it sound more global or include something Western, for example: Petrov Center for Global Security or Petrov–Perry Institute (in reference to William J. Perry). (Not saying these are the best names.)
For me at least, that implies an institute founded or affiliated with somebody named Petrov, not just inspired by somebody, and it would seem slightly sketchy for it not to be.
Very random but:

Unfortunately it also sounds Russian, which has some serious downsides at the moment....

Although there is the Alan Turing Institute, Ada Lovelace Institute, Leverhulme Centre, Simon Institute, etc.
