If there is one around, that suites our case, I'd be glad to use it.

the planned implementation would display a message on every user login 
explaining very clear where they are and produce a daily summary of how many 
peak concurrent named users were active and what that means.

but how would you call a group of 100 women where 1 of them is pregnant?

The world is full of things like "free entrance for children younger than 5 
years"
but (in case it's your business model) you wouldn't write a sign "free entrance 
for persons younger than 100 years"
instead you would put it "free entrance for everybody (except you're 99 or 
older)"
