How to name a custom variant ?

So, I found a theoretically drawn position and wanted to name it, but I am not sure how it can be done. I see other variants have received names, so it seems possible.

Is not standard chess theoretically drawn and yet still quite interesting? Many end games are theoretically drawn, yet people set up tournaments and play through them. So, I have to get 10 games? Did you mean play 10 games? I think I probably have already played through 10 games of it in the 4-player club. Is it a matter of recording the PGNs as proof and then submitting them to the right person? Your explanation was a bit vague.

There is a separate club for submitting your own variants so that they can be named and listed in the Variants server. The full explanation of the process can be found in that club, in this forum thread:

Thank you your help

The way customs variants work is that you have to submit a position to the Custom Games Admin team for review, as @Green_Sleeves has mentioned in their post. We will be happy to review your variant; just make sure to play 10 testing games over a timespan of at least 24 hours to be eligible for testing.

Thanks for the additional info, I joined the right club to submit my variant and have also found the right links to the pertinent info.

idk why it's this complicated. I just want to make regular chess but the pawns are Berolinas, Knights are Alibabas, Queens are Seirawan Elephants, and name it Drunk chess right away. Who thought of having to jump through all these hoops (that you guys explained) just to name my chess variant?
