Could you please please please change my name to Cyclopeia?

I do not like Caria very much. Here is the new etymology for those wondering:
Cyclopeia (Κυκλωπεία - Kyklopia) comes from the word Κύκλωψ/Κύκλωπας which means Cyclops. In Cyclopeian mythology Cyclopes helped Zeus in his uprising against Kronos. After Zeus defeated the Titans the Cyclopes who had helped him grew less and less loyal to Zeus. Eventually they helped Poseidon and some other Gods in an attempted rebellion. Zeus forgave the other Gods but the Cyclopes were punished severly and very few managed to escape annhilation. They fled to Cyclopeia, the land that later was named after them. Many were killed by humans and Gods, at least one was blinded by the famous Odysseus, but in Cyclopeian mythology some are said to still live in the Cyclopeian mountains, a coastal branch of the Titanian mountain range, under the protection of Poseidon. Cyclopeia was named after them by the local humans, the Cyclopeians.

Can you change the name from Madai to Media, please? Madai sounds too greek like for Persians (even if the correct for in Persian would be Mada, Media sounds more international :p ).
