Thread Name: The Naming of Modes
Subject: RE: The Naming of Modes
The names SharonA suggested have in fact been used quite a lot; they're less common now than they used to be. One slight problem with them is that they make an implicit assumption which isn't necessarily true: that the solfa degrees will be sung at the same pitch whatever the mode. That depends on your tuning system.

The site Tootler referenced looks quite good for what it does, but it's not all that useful for theorizing folk music.
