Kimball Kinnison (of EE Doc Smith's Lensman series).
He is the principle hero of the stories (first serialised in Astounding Science Fiction in 1937). If you know of the series then the name won't be obscure, however I'd hoped that the stories themselves would be obscure enough in modern times. I guess not...
Got both my NPC name and Commander name approved 
I do have one question though, I recently upgraded my pledge to DDF and although I do have access to the Private Backers Forum the DDF is still invisible to me.
Is there a rough estimate of when all forum permissions will be completed for late upgraders such as myself?

Totally agree with this post:

Any names with 2 or more parts should have at least one iteration of it in full as given. It can also be split for random use elsewhere but as long as I know "Nevyn Swiftarrow" is 'out there, somewhere' I am happy.
Commander Bifford reporting in.
NPC Nevyn Swiftarrow ... out there, somewhere.

First round choice (from hitch hikers guide) was denied, the form wouldn't accept my second choice (also hitch hikers), but happily it seems there's not as many spaceballs fans as third time was a charm
Cmdr Lone Starr.

You need to look on the Web app that manages your rewards from the KS campaign.
You can enter your commander name, and when it is approved there will be a 'thumbs up' symbol next to it.

So you are the reason I couldn't get Lone Starr.
Now I'm stuck with Moondoggie.
Look for NPC Vern Fonk in a solar system near you. Honk for Fonk!

I got mine sorted quickly (thanks Ashley!) after I contacted FD about it. Including dates of payments should ease and therefore speed up the process.Got both my NPC name and Commander name approved

You can contact FD via the form in the Backers' app or tossing an e-mail.
