Hi Jim,
Under current CF procedure, every new std_name must be individually approved. There are proposals to change this, but nothing has changed yet.
Fortunately, your proposed std_name is a grammatically consistent combination of existing std_names, so I don't expect any objections. In such cases, it usually seems to take a couple of months for it to be approved and included in the official list.
Best wishes,
Philip
