The database name cannot exceed 50 characters

Question

I am trying to create an offline copy of my BCM database in Outlook 2013. I have connected to my remote server which LeadershipSBSE\BCM and the database name itself is just LS. (I have shortened it as much as I can.) Despite these efforts, whenever I try
and create the offline copy, it tells me the "database name cannot exceed 50 characters."
I quite literally CANNOT shorten anything else. How can I get this to work?
Thank you in advance.

As mentioned above, the INSTANCE name that I am typing in is "LeadershipSBSE\BCM" and the actual DATABASE name that I am selecting is "LS". I started with much longer names, but have actually created a second SQL instance with a shorter name (BCM) and a
new database with the name "LS". I quite literally CANNOT make this any shorter.
I am using Windows 8.1 and Outlook 2013.
I think I may have figured something out with regard to the error, though. My profile name was crazy long, since I was using a Google apps profile. When I switched to a different Outlook profile named "Outlook", I no longer got that error message. Now, though
I am getting a "Database creation was unsuccessful" and in the Windows event log, I'm getting an Application error 1000 with these details:
