Some countries use individual names for a few combinations of the above mutations.
- Cream (Dominant Dilute + Fawn) (English)
- Phaeo (Isabel + Black Breasted (+ Fawn)) (all languages, although most have abandonned this name again)
- Fawn Cheeked (Grey Cheeked + Fawn)
In addition to these, there are a number of mutations that have so far been confined to one or two countries each. These include:
- Cream Back (Australia - closely related to CFW)
- Marked White (Australia - closely related to CFW)
- Chestnut Flanked (Australia - closely related to CFW)
- Phino (Holland/Belgium)
- Gezoomd (Holland/Belgium)
- Grizly (Holland/Belgium)
- Grizzle (Australia)
- Black Fronted (Australia)
- Florida Fancy (USA - similar to Isabel in appearance, but co-dominant heredity. Single Factor birds are currently looking for a new name!)
- Charcoal (Australia)
- George (Australia)
- Bleekwang (Holland/Belgium - translates into "Light Cheeked")
Finally, there are a few variations of some of these mutations which have been given individual names:
| English | Danish | Dutch | German | French |
| Saddleback (form of Pied) | Saddelrygget | Getekend | Sattelschecke | Sellé |
| Black Bodied (form of Black Face) | | | | |
