Post Who Decides the names for Waypoints

With the recent changes to the Oceanic Entry points at 10W and 15W, I am reminded of a question I've had for many moons.
Which revered person or "body" decides on the name to be assigned to a waypoint, particularly those at 10W and 15W? Also like to know if there is any convention / logic that is applied in so naming them?

I could hazard a guess that ATSIX stems from 60N and BALIX was the reaction of the guy/gal when told there was a need for new names!!

Thanx in advance for any input.
