I'm confused about terminology within breed standards

You know, I'm having a "Duh!!" moment.

I have 6 BR, and if I mixed them with, say, White Rocks, they'd still be Plymouth Rocks, so I'm going with what TimG said, with some artistic license:

I'm declaring these 'Easter Egger variety Ameraucanas.'

Now that I've resolved myself to that, I hope she has some left for me to buy!!
 
And there are only a few colors of ameraucanas to begin with so it should be easy to breed back to a certain color unless she brought in some EE's. Like I was telling a friend that breeds non-standard varieties of some breeds about the whole thing. She bough some birds that were sold as a variety but when she looked it up in the standard it didnt match but they bred true so I told her to make up a name for the variety. For example she had some black cochins with a red breast on both genders but were black everywhere else. I told her to just call them red breasted blacks instead of the crazy name she got them as (I think it was something like red pencilled, didnt match it at all). So if they are some crazy color just come up with a name and sell them as that.
