[Nettie Belle]

It's different and nobody else will ever have it. I love Fitzwilly's suggestion with the tiny cymbals ... you could be a one-person band and go to town.

Nettie Belle is not clowny, but it seems to be known around the area ... and nobody else has that name, that I know of. Once you pick a name and it becomes associated with a great clown, it doesn't matter if it's clowny or not. YOU are the clown, not your name. I have a friend whose clown name is Maxine, another one named Shellie Belle ... they are not really clowny either, but the association with them IS.

I say stick with it and expand on it. And JUST HAVE FUN!!
