You may also try PBO - Project Back Office. But yet, nothing wrong with PMO

One must keep department name which justifies its functions and controls.
Like some PMOs act as a facilitator, some play consulting role, some may have close watch on project's important constraints like cost, schedule, quality & alike.

Accordingly, PMO may be renamed as , Program Support office, Project Control office, Program Central Office & alike.

To stay in sync with the universe I would still use PMO. Changing the name will cause confusion.

If you have have Project Managers and they report to a Director or Manager then it make sense to call it a PMO.

What would be the key role of the "PMO", Control, coach, teach, supervise support....?

That could help in finding a name

I would echo Andrew's question here. What is the objective of this unit?

And Sante's question, what's driving this request?

Then you can go crazy with "Center of Perfection" or "Perfection Management Office"
