What about just calling the new database postgres by default?

For true newbies, the first thing that happens if you try just
running psql with no arguments is that you discover there's no
database named postgres. For most first-time users, I suspect the
postgres user is the super-user and the first user used to access any
database.

Just throwing out another suggestion.
