Looks like Unicode did not create any name for any Latin letter/symbol
with LATIN in its name :-')
Am I correct?
Is there a mailing list for ISO/IEC ?

Better to do like Edward Cherlin, i.e., type the symbol after the name.
e.g., LATIN SMALL LETTER PHI (ɸ)
That way an illiterate like me can quickly see the letter/symbol along
with its name, without additional research.

My I know these letters/symbols with names please?

I can point you to http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0080.pdf , which
includes a glyph for U+00AA, and
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2700.pdf , which includes a glyph for
U+271D. I don't think it's necessary to post these glyphs to the public
list.

Most of the characters in the various parts of ISO 8859 were originally
standardized before Unicode or ISO 10646, so the names were probably
either created by the ISO/IEC subcommittees responsible for those parts,
or found in earlier standards and adopted as-is.
The merger between Unicode and ISO 10646 caused a few character names in
Unicode to be changed to match the 10646 names.
