Yes, the NomCom has final say but I believe they do listen to what is
spread on this list and elsewhere as well as to what the original
finders have to say. If it falls in there guidelines (whatever those
are) then suggestions spread around may influence what the stone is called.

Pretty sure Buzzard Coulee's name was influenced by the finders and by
this list.

Cheers!
