Hello World,

I decided it is time for a change - a change of name, at least.  I have grown tired of "Los Cuatro Locos."  Since I am the only one of the four who actually updates anything and who created that title in the first place, should I act alone to change the name?

At first, I was thinking of just changing the picture of the name to colors and font anew, but quickly realized I should just change the whole name.

• I thought of "Monkeyville", because we call our daughters monkeys - especially Maegan, because she used to climb things really well and a lot.
• Then I thought of "Los Cuatro Monos Locos" - but that is even crazier than the original title.
• Then, "Anomaly", because I like the idea of being anomalous - as in: outside the box, being original, not doing just what everybody else does, being individual.  But I looked up 'anomaly' and found the definition and list of synonyms to be too negative -  
•  1.anomaly - deviation from the normal or common order or form or rule
  anomalousness
  birth defect, congenital abnormality, congenital anomaly, congenital defect, congenital disorder - a defect that is present at birth
  abnormalcy, abnormality - an abnormal physical condition resulting from defective genes or developmental deficiencies 
  2.anomaly - a person who is unusual              

  unusual person

  individual, mortal, person, somebody, someone, soul - a human being; "there was too much for one person to do"

  anachronism - a person who seems to be displaced in time; who belongs to another age

  aberrant - one whose behavior departs substantially from the norm of a group

  albino - a person with congenital albinism: white hair and milky skin; eyes are usually pink

  automaton, zombi, zombie - someone who acts or responds in a mechanical or apathetic way; "only an automaton wouldn't have noticed"

  eccentric, eccentric person, oddball, flake, geek - a person with an unusual or odd personality

  behemoth, colossus, goliath, monster, giant - someone or something that is abnormally large and powerful

  Jekyll and Hyde - someone with two personalities - one good and one evil

  kook, odd fellow, odd fish, odd man out, queer bird, queer duck - someone regarded as eccentric or crazy and standing out from a group

  misfit - someone unable to adapt to their circumstances

  rara avis, rare bird - a rare or unique person

  transexual, transsexual - a person who has undergone a sex change operation

  ugly duckling - an ugly or unpromising child who grows into a beautiful or worthy person
•  Then, "Eclectic Anomaly"
  - What do you think?  
• To be eclectic is to like the best of anything - like the eclectic decorator would put many things together that are the best of different ideas and make them all look great together.
• BUT .....I searched that title and found that different people already had it for their webpages!!!
• @EclecticAnomaly - on Twitter
• www.myspace.com/eclecticanomalymusic/
•  www.anomalypodcast.com/tag/eclectic-music
• theimpulseeclectic.bandcamp.com/track/the-anomaly
• etc.

Wait a minute!  "Et Cetera!"  How much you wanna bet that has been used up too much already!?  What to do, oh what to do.  Of course, there are already etcetera.com, ecetera-records.com, etcetera.co.uk, etceteraonline.com, etceteraproject.com, etcetera3.com, etc.!  Oh well, well, well, I can still use it, right?

I think I will try out Et Cetera.  Let me know what you think. :)
