There is a term for using the first letters of a name to make a word, like NASA, or HOMES for the great lakes, etc. Thanks.

As others have said, that is caled an "acronym." It might also be impressive for you to know that an acronym is an abbreviation that can be pronounced.
For example, FBI, CIA, and CSI are just abbreviations because when you say them, you just pronounce the letters: "eff-bee-eye," "see-eye-ey," and "see-ess-eye."
NASA, SCUBA, RADAR, and HOMES are all acronyms because we speak the syllables: "nah-suh," "scoo-buh," "ray-dar," and "hoe mz."
