BIP-0420, a proposal for keeping track of fake Satoshi Nakamotos

After recent events it seems likely we will have even more fake Satoshi Nakamotos (Faketoshi for simplicity's sake) as bitcoin continues gaining awareness among the masses. Taking a cue from Coca Cola, I have been calling this most recent imposter "New Faketoshi", but quickly realized this is not a scalable method--even writing as New10 Faketoshi becomes tedious and difficult to track over time.

I propose a simple naming schema for all present and future fake Satoshi Nakamotos which leverages existing English number framework combined with recognizable branding:

Faketoshi (Craig Wright, we will leave the name unchanged in honor of his trailblazing shitbaggery)

Faketwoshi (the Bilal potato guy, don't care enough to look up his full name)

Fakethreeshi (tbd)

Fakefourshi (tbd)

etc...

I believe this naming method should hold up through the word "twenty". If the rate of Faketoshis remains the same (1 every 5 years on average), then we will not have to come up with a new method until the early 2100s.

I am not sure how to formally submit this BIP, so I'm hoping the r/bitcoin community can help a brother out.
