Should the organization, that Mr. White belongs to, have been given a name?

Already there has been some confusion, in that some have mistakenly thought, that it is the Loads Resistance Army, that is behind the larger plot.

I am very intrigued by lines like when Obanno (leader of the Loads Resistance Army) says in reference to stealing from Mr White

I think it adds a certain amount of intrigue if this shadowy organisation remains nameless for the moment. They only become a genuine threat to Bond himself towards the end of CASINO ROYALE, when it becomes personal. Vesper's phone directs Bond to Mr White, and I suppose this is the start of a trail for him to discover who his bosses are. I'm sure a name for them will emerge (probably in BOND 22). Hmm... wondering whether RISICO may work as the name of a potential criminal organisation...

That thought had flashed across my mind too. In great Bond tradition, what could Risico be an acronym for?

Don't know, but if this is set up as a trilogy (no reason not to) then I think the reveal of the organization's name should be a revelation at the end of the next film, rather than the exposition. It might nicely set up an endgame for a third film.

Would be interesting to see if the producers/writers already have a framework laid out up to BOND 23, and whether the three movies have a connection throughout. It would make sense I suppose, especially if Craig is determined to limit himself to three. You wouldn't want any of the story to drag on to the next Bond actor's mini-series.

In the original films, Blofeld wasn't properly seen, all we saw was his body. That added mystery that I hope can be regained with these new films, I mean, we don't even know Mr. Whites name, and noone would have known it if the script hadn't been leaked.

Well he was in the cast list as Mr White, but I see the point you're making. For the duration of the movie, his name won't be revealed (if that really is his actual name). Actually, I think the same goes for Steven Obanno - I'm not sure if his name is ever actually used. For some reason, an anonymous villain seems a much more threatening presence.
