I confess to being surprised that Majestic 12 didn't already exist as a dark science organization dedicated to stealing or reverse engineering Zetan Overtechnology (and later on, Tesla technology) for their own purposes.That said, the name is, of course, perfect.
Although I would argue that the Lensmen, while not as pretentious as their Big Fire counterparts, are still pretty pretentious. They wear giant fancy gems that telepathically broadcast "I AM A BIG DAMN HERO" to anyone they flash them at, I mean, that is not exactly something a modest organization comes up with. :)
