No, i get this:

$ psql skynet
psql: FATAL: database "skynet" does not exist

I can create a database with the same name:

postgres=# create database skynet;
CREATE DATABASE

postgres=# select '"' || datname || '"' from pg_database;
?column?
-------------
"template1"
"template0"
"postgres"
"t1"
"skynet"
"skynet"

And drop the newly created database:

postgres=# drop database skynet;
DROP DATABASE
postgres=# select '"' || datname || '"' from pg_database;
?column?
-------------
"template1"
"template0"
"postgres"
"t1"
"pgpool"
"skynet"

Strange, isn't it?
