Wow! My friend, I'm afraid your first impression has been left with an endurable marker.

Suggestion: Re-register under a different name and try again...

If it's all the same to you I'll stick with BLRO.

No. No, it is not. Not at all.

I believe "116710 BLRO" will work just fine, but thank you for your contribution.

One or two syllables is the rule. Pep-si, Root-beer, Yacht-i, Ker-mit, Blue-sy, Bat-man etc.

I like Pepsi or BLRO, if we need to distinguish between the aluminum bezel and he ceramic.

I had to look up Optimus Prime and I get the point.

I don't see it catching on, but I can see where the younger folks might go for it.

It has a certain ring to it and it's esoteric.
