mysql query with left outer join and average

Question

I have two tables in mysql. The first table is names have the following dates:

    name           service         number
    carlos          telephone         6
    juan             watter          12
    maria             gas            23
    jhon             hostal          17
    marcos           sleeping        21
    carlos          othercarlos      12
    other             other          13

And i have other table alias

    name             service         alias              price
   carlos          telephone        telephone-carlos     700
   carlos          sleeping         sleeping-carlos      300  
    juan             watter          watter-juan         900
    maria             gas            gas-maria           650
    jhon             hostal          hostal-jhon         700

And i need a view with name, alias, number and prince. But i need all rows in name i intent with a left outer join. But the problem is that when i do the query when is othercarlos i need that the price will be the average of carlos services and when the name is other i need that appear the average of all services. But appear null

Ok, I'm sure that there are better ways to do this, but I can at least offer you one way:

SELECT  t1.name, 
        t1.service, 
        t2.alias, 
        t1.number, 
        COALESCE(t2.price,t3.price,t4.price) AS price
FROM name t1
LEFT JOIN alias t2
    ON t1.name= t2.name 
    AND t1.service = t2.service
LEFT JOIN ( SELECT name, AVG(price) AS price
            FROM alias
            GROUP BY name) t3
    ON t1.name = t3.name
LEFT JOIN ( SELECT AVG(price) AS price
            FROM alias) t4
    ON t1.name = 'other'

Here is a fiddle with this.

The result:

║ carlos ║ sleeping    ║ sleeping-carlos  ║     24 ║   300 ║
