It's interesting to know what people's opinions are, and I don't feel
the desire for a simpler name to be wrong.

However, we all have taken a *lot* of time and effort to get the name
"PostgreSQL" recognised, and we should continue on doing this. Nowdays
I'm finding it very unusual to see new articles and publications going
online and getting it wrong, meaning that although there are legacy
documents out there refering to "Postgres", most of the new stuff online
is calling it the proper "PostgreSQL".

Lets stick with "PostgreSQL", simply because we are a solid project with
a good foundation, and we don't need to introduce uncertainties in
people's minds by changing the "Official" name of our project every few
years. "PostgreSQL" works, people recognise it, and its our brand
alone. :)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
