PhonepayPlus, the premium services regulator, is looking to rename to make it's role clearer to consumers.

Can you help?

Do you know this is long overdue?. I find the name hardly reflects what they actually do.

I can't think of a new name this time of night though...

Yes, I agree Den. It doesn't portray their function at all well does it?

What's to stop anyone from coming up with a great name and buying the domain to sell to PhonepayPlus?

Nothing at all but that works on the assumption that they would choose that name. I suspect they would just choose something different.
Off topic, but someone tried this buy registering 21st Century Fox. It failed to scoop them the millions they were hoping for.
