Community badge names - your help needed!

Hi everyone! The community team are looking at introducing a badge to recognise community members who've made helpful contributions in the community. We've tried out a LOT of names for the badge but none of them really hit the mark - and at this point everything sounds odd. We've looked at things like: 

  • Educator
  • Mastermind
  • Megamind
  • Sage
  • Know-it-all

Do any of these strike a chord with you? Any other suggestions? If you prefer you are welcome to send me a private message with your suggestions - I'd love to hear from all community members who have suggestions, including those who prefer reading to posting.

    If not vegetables then fruits - lemon or banana might be ones to avoid…

    What purpose has such a label and who can see it ?- 

    I can imagine it might be rather fun if folk could not see their own, but with the wrong rules might lead to inappropriate suggestions like “smaughtars” (*) ‘windbag’  or ‘trouble maker’.

    Also how it is to be used -I presume there is no intention to for example censure the least helpful 10% of users or anything, but any label (or equally the absence of one that others have) that may be read by others as indicating ‘newbie’ or ‘incompetent’ is potentially divisive and therefore a  bad thing.

    Also very few folk are omnipotent,  so an expert in pneumatic may like to be flagged as such, but it does not mean that his/her advice on power electrics or algebra is any good.
