While that was announced, it promptly got canned because it was deemed that Airservices could not take $ for such things, even if the $ were going to charity (in addition to presenting other issues).

I don't believe any waypoints proposed ever saw the light of day. I do recall being told that some bright spark tried to slip in some offensive 5 letter words, which didn't help matters.
