Chess960 is not so old that it is appropriate to call another game Modern Chess960. Try to find a more fitting name that actually captures the difference between your game and Bobby Fischer's.

I have changed the name of the game to "Allocate Chess960". I hope it will be ok

Why not 'Placement Chess 960'? There already exists a Placement Chess, which is very similar except that the placement rules are so restricted that only 20 start positions can result.

I did some more digging into games like this, and I found Baseline chess with Fischer rules. So, this is not a new idea.

It definitely is not new enough to warrant a separate article. One difference seems to be that in Basline Chess the setup is not necessarily symmetric. And the castling rule here is slightly different. I don't consider the latter an improvement. (But the name Placement Chess 960 is.)
