Bad Hostname

The Change Hostname or Registration page says I chose a bad hostname.

Hostnames need to be between three and fifteen characters long, they can have hyphens (-), but most other non-letter characters aren't allowed. Also you cannot have a name that is already taken or reserved (For example most of the names of departments such as Medicine or EECS are restricted)
