Mentions a change of names (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nominates

'names' is the definition.
(I know this)

'mentions a change' is the wordplay.
'change' indicates an anagram.
'mentions'+'a'='mentionsa'
'mentionsa' with letters rearranged gives 'NOMINATES'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for nominates that I've seen before include "Proposes" , "Puts name forward in Minnesota" , "Suggests" , "Propose for election" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
