Love the new name. If you get tired of 'Blown Away' send it to me. What a beauty!
At least you can keep track of blooming, fert, etc. I started calling some of my noids by the name of the person who gave them to me. My latest is a white phal who is now P. Noid 'Glen'. He traded me for one I had a duplicate. Much easier than several P noids on the spreadsheet and not know which one is which.

Here are some sites about the naming of orchids -
Orchid Naming
Exotic Orchids of Maui - Orchid Definitions
For a hybrid to be official, it must be registered with the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS). Most important in cases of propagation and judging.
But, heck if you get a NOID ... you are the master  of it's title  |
