Hello,
I've been looking around the various online chord naming websites, but the variation of Cm6/Cm7 I'm trying to name, doesn't return any known name for this chord.

Firstly, on the Guitar, a Cm7 fretting pattern is... X - 3 - 5 - 3 - 4 - 3
which is... C - G - A# - Eb - G

I am adding a subtle discordant variation by raising the high G to an A.
On the Guitar, the fretting pattern is now... X - 3 - 5 - 3 - 4 - 5
which is... C - G - A# - Eb - A
It is sort of like a Cm6, but I'm retaining the A#, (from the Cm7), instead of raising it to a C.

As you can see, there is both an A#  and an  A. Still... it sounds nice, as does chords like Cmaj7 on the guitar which has discordant notes.

You music theory genius-ness wold be appreciated.

Regards
SFG.
