I posted a thread about this on M&R I shoulda looked here this is basically the same topic.
To me it really feels like, there is a certain branch of eclecticism, or style of eclecticism, that has a nasty habit of calling itself Wicca, and I really feel that... it sort of craves a name for itself. I wouldn't necessarily its just about wanting a name for my personal path because not everything I do is based on this eclectic path, as believing in 6 deities specifically isn't something I see very often. but it's been so adamant about calling itself Wicca, I feel this religion needs some kind of name for itself that isn't pejorative.
Does anyone else agree with me that if "not wicca" had something else to call itself, it would stop calling itself Wicca? The problem with simply "eclectic neo-pagan" is that it is simply too broad.

That's been part of my problem. I don't quite feel eclectic neo-pagan, or even neo-pagan alone is definitive enough for me. And in a way, I'm not sure about "Seeker" because I've found what I am, but I'm still seeking for what to call it so Seeker is still correct.
But if the "eclectic solitary Wicca" had it's own name, it would stop making a claim to the title. Although it's going to be hard to do that since society sees solitary as a form of Wicca only because there are so many calling themselves solitary Wiccans.
