The boss (Admin) doesn't like my name - please help.
Dear members, I, a humble, no nothing, newbie joined this fabulous forum with the user name 'Guest', in the quest to learn more about our wonderful universe.
Actually I thought the name 'Guest' quite appropriate but sadly it seems to be causing confusion.
Boss (Admin) has asked me to change it. I requested "Scotty" as in 'Scot me up Beamie' but this is taken. 
So I thought "Reject Guest" might be unique enough and less confusing, but alas this is also not to be.
Lacking creative talent that pleases all and sundry I am all at sea. Generous members please help a bewildered and confused newb to an appropriate name. All suggestions gladly received.
Mean time I can get back to figuring out what my first scope will / should be!
Clearing and dark skies are beckoning...

maybe you could take the opposite line and call yourself "intruder"
hmmm, welcome intruder, sounds a bit odd, but hey my imagination is clearly non existant given my own tag here.
cheers,

Sorry know nothing about Ninja, Dob (Master) - know nothing about Dobs, Bonehead - too close to the truth - especially next to Stinky!

But I think I have to first graduate to some nerdy knowledge before I get an astronomy name - don't want to queue jump.
