Question Renamed oceanic entry points

Recently, some of the 10W exit/entry points in the North Atlantic (5910N,5810N..etc.) among others, were renamed.(RATSU,GOMUP etc.). Unfortunately, I am still using charts with the old names-have not received the new ones yet- so if there is someone who can tell me the new names and for what position each stand for, I would be very thankful.regards..

Thanks for the info mr simple, -exactly what I was looking for, -and yes, some of the names really make me think they were created after 7 or 8 drafts on the bar....but they are fine however, regards.

Cool

Came back off leave recently to discover these new names!
It's nice to see people do have a sense of humour about these things.59N10W will be especially best said in a NI accent.
Might get the chance next year or maybe not if the BFS mass exodus continues

You think they're bad to pronounce?! You should try some in Germany! I mean asking young lady pilots to go direct to Pimis? Yep, pronounced as one would presume, how many times have we had to spell that??! or Pobud? Bulux? Dik? you can't say they haven't a sense of humour any more!!
