The thing about evil, is that the practitioners of it don't think of themselves as evil, except in comic fantasy. Most real evil organizations have an innocent sounding name because the people who made it and run it think of it as doing something of which they personally approve. Consider Al Qaeda. Nobody outside of the crazy mindset that they exemplify can think of it as anything but evil. But the name means "the Foundation."
