There is no database called "romkur", because you haven't yet created it.
When initdb is run, it creates a database called template1; this is the
only database that exists until you create some more.
When you try to connect as a database user, postgres assumes you want
your eponymous database, unless you tell it different. So tell it
you want to connect to template1.
