D&D 4E What to Name a Fan-Written 'Pathfinder of 4e'?

As you may know -- hey, I'm being optimistic here! -- I'm writing a 4e revamp. A sort of 4e Pathfinder, except not concerned with backwards compatibility. I'm not making changes for the sake of change, but I already have a set of 4e-compatible house rules; what I'm writing is more systemic. It will look, feel, and play like 4e (sans really long combat). I've been calling it Heartbreaker 4 (HB4), but that's just a working title.

Some not-so-coy ideas I've had:

4Ever
4Ever After
4Ever Quest (okay, just joking!)
4th Finder

And one more coy idea:
Misfits & Mayhem (stolen from Armchair Gamer's excellent categorizations of D&D styles)

Opinions and ideas are appreciated!

PS: If the above description of HB4 isn't enough, you can read a more detailed summary here.

Well just C4 was good to me (if you needed to justify it just call it along the lines of "Complete Creative Combat Campaign engine"). I like Misfits and Mayhem, though it has the misfortune of sharing the acronim with Mutants and Masterminds.

I think a fair titile would be "Dragonteller", because it is based on the "Dragon" playsstyle (Heroic deeds) and 4e is a very good narrative game.

Speaking of C4, I lost the link to the thread (seriously you should have a link on your signature)

For the record, I'm working on something which I'm planning to call 4E Extended (I wanted to get a 5th "E" in there :p). The idea is to fix the "problems" of 4e through additional material instead of re-writing the base rules (e.g. Want an archer fighter? Here's an archer theme with a variety of bow powers. Don't want a defender fighter? Here are a few abilities you can take in place of Combat Challenge, etc.).
