Text Wrap around shape, when text is drawn on a line (concentric circles)

Question

I am trying to create a tshirt design that can be simply updated with people names - I have created linked concentric circles with text along the lines (image 1) but now I want to overlay text (as in image 2) but I cannot get the text to wrap around an outlined letter - or even a simple shape (as in image 2). Everything is in the same layer, text is at the back, online Adobe live help say it is not possible and to mannually more the words around with the space bar...

Has anyone got any other ideas?

@WCCMedia I would create two files to do this:One text file would be the original 'editable' text for when you need to make text changes to the the live textOne text file that will be converted to outlines. And would copy the 'converted' text outlines and stroke them. Then apply a text wrap and use the Adjust the Offset value to control the distance between your overlay shape and the "names" text. A positive value increases the gap, a negative value might cause overlap
