[Scan-DC] Looking for some input

Patuxent River NAS has 387.9 in use pretty often. I am currently listening
to a recording of Aircraft 84-MIKE doing low approaches with the Tower
coordinating. They keep switching from "LOW" Approaches to "PADDLES"
approaches. Then the aircraft will go back outbound and the Tower will tell
him to "Report the hook, inbound". Every once in a while I will actually
here "PADDLES" come up on the radio and advise how many "Paddles Approaches"
the aircraft has done thus far. 

Anyway, for my query, what would be a good way to name a freq like this. It
is not exactly a GCA freq, because of the PADDLES involvement. It is
definitely not a standard APPROACH freq. Would it be appropriate to name a
freq like this "PADDLES", I am hesitant as "PADDLES" probably only used the
freq a fraction of the time, even though PADDLES was obviously involved. I
can't say I remember seeing a freq from any other source called "PADDLES",
so I figured I would solicit for some input before jumping the gun on a good
attempt at an ID.

Any thoughts on the matter would be helpful.
