I am still trying to think of a name for my new scope, so I would appreciate any suggestions, too.

Bearing in mind the whole phallic inference associated with large telescopes, my wife has suggested I call my scope, "Richard". What troubles me is the size of the opening (aperture) that Richard will have. Not very masculine at all, if you catch my drift.....???

I had thought of naming it after a relative, such as my late grandmother Olive. Given comments above about aperture, I am not sure whether that is any less disturbing...
