His Majesty's Coastguard → HM Coastguard – The name does not meet WP:COMMONNAME or WP:ACRONYMTITLE. The organisation as per their own website states [] and the logo is HM Coastguard. News organisations call it HM Coastguard . We already have HM Revenue and Customs using the initials. Davidstewartharvey (talk) 19:10, 23 July 2025 (UTC)
