The name is just fine as it is. Although I think that a name change is a complicated action to take, I don't know why all the resistance to this discussion. Until now, the only argument I saw from people that are against the change is that PostgreSQL's name was/is being recognised with very hard work. However, I really don't see where a simple name change would avoid people from recognising and deploying postgres/postgres sql/postgresql. For me it seems to be a positive and critical move. It not only would solve the issue, but would show people that the project is really up and kicking, not only in the software department, but also as related to market acceptance. And, good or not, PostgreSQL is now a world class product that cannot be considered a "hobby", both for the developers and users. Just to mention MySQL, it's much more known and deployed. Why? Software? Don't think so. It's name is simple, it's logo is great, and it has a nice homepage and users advocating. Success is not just product quality. And, as a fan of PostgreSQL, of course I do advocate it. But it's not easy at all tell people about postgresql. When you'll tell them it's features, advantages, people often break your speaking with a string attached: "Post what?". []'s Ricardo.
