Proposed name I don't change (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nominated

'proposed' is the definition.
(nominating is a kind of proposing)

'name i don't change' is the wordplay.
'change' indicates anagramming the letters.
'name'+'i'+'dont'='nameidont'
'nameidont' with letters rearranged gives 'NOMINATED'.

(Other definitions for nominated that I've seen before include "selected" , "Proposed as a candidate" , "Put forward for election" , "mentioned specifically" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
