    7-11?

    I know, it's not an acronym, but I'm stumped otherwise.

    How about KISS?

    Acronyms and initialism with numbers are tough! Should we consider using the first or last letter of a number?

    7 = Seven. Go with the "S" or the "N".

    I'd say since we go with the last letter when all letters, so with the "N".

    All if favor?
