What's wrong with saying "You don't have some God-given right to a name. 
You have to ask, beg, plead with me to get one. If I don't like it, I 
say no. If I give it to you, I can pull it back any time I want. Game over."

Whoever ends up Keeper Of The Eternal Flame can limit it to whatever 
they want. They can entertain only serious developers who have something 
concrete to offer. Internet dweebs who hope to cash in by grabbing all 
sorts of names need not even bother applying.
