My name's Byron. I'm starting a charity to give food to kids in school who are below poverty. What should my operation be called?

The name is the least of your problems.
Unless you have
- filed Articles of Incorporation in your home state,
- verified that the name you choose is available,
- applied to the IRS for tax exempt status,
- obtained an EIN, state solicitation license, and sales tax exemption certificate,
- created a board of directors,
- elected board officers,
- established a place of business,
- adopted by laws,
- hold regular board meetings,
- keep publicly-available minutes of those meetings,
- and file umpteen financial reports with local, state, and federal government agencies.
you do not have a nonprofit charity
You have a hobby.
And there are plenty of government food programs - school breakfast and lunch, food stamps, WIC, etc. to take care of that.
