I want to make Obamium real

I want to make Obamium real

The Issue

I want to come up with the official name for the 119th element of the periodic table. If this element becomes discovered or created in the future, I want this to be the official name for the element and be officially placed on the periodic table of elements. Here is my requests:

Name for element: Obamium

Chemical Symbol: Ob

reason: This is a meme circulated around the internet where a theoretical element named Obamium is displayed as President Obama’a face on a 3D shape. I thought the meme was hilarious as I am a chemistry nerd of myself. It would be funny to see Obamium on the periodic table. Also, another reason is honoring a U.S. President.

If I can forward this to the people that name elements, I will be able to see my creation on the periodic table if the 119th element is discovered in the near future.
