In any case, "I don't like what it is called" is difficult to act on. ;-)
If there are recommendations on alternatives, I'm all ears.
I would prefer a name that indicated that it was the resolvers that are whitelisted.

The AAAA records aren't thr things being whitelisted.
How about "IPv6 DNS Resolver Whitelisting"
or "IPv6 AAAA DNS Resolver Whitelisting"
