18602	Misleading error when NAME omitted for Postgres DB	Kristian Glass <djangoproject@…>	nobody	"Minor issue, but if you don't set a `NAME` in `settings.DATABASES` for a db with the `postgresql_psycopg2` backend, you get the following error:

`You need to specify NAME in your Django settings file.`

I've seen this confuse at least two people (resulting in them trying to set `settings.NAME`...!) so propose a change to:

`You need to specify the database NAME in your Django settings file.`

in a similar style to the sqlite3 backend.
