sorry, i thought that a mode was the same scale starting on a different note within that scale - eg the modes of B major would start on B, C# D# E F# etc therefore in my lirttle world it kinda made some sense that you could name the mode that way - according to the scale from which the notes of the mode are taken from and the degree of that scale.

but thanks for putting me right - very apprecited.

cheers,
