Is it possible to name your database only what you want it to be?

[gabe94]

Username: gabe94
Every time i try to make a database it adds gabe94 in front of my database name like this:

gabe94_test

where test is supposed to be my database name, but now its gabe94_test

Any Help much appreciated!

Your cPanel name will always be in front of the database name.

Why?

Because it's the way cPanel (and most of the panels) and MySQL works. Your cPanel username is always added before the database name you choose.
It's automatic and we can't change it.

If it didn't then there could only be one user who could have a database named test for example.
It is done so that multiple users can have databases with simpler names. What is the problem with doing this, it doesn't really make any difference having your username on the front of the database name?
