Sounded awfully, especially in Russian, tied to fix neighbours. With PostgresQL they will think that the short name is Postgres and this is good. Also will be opinion that PostgreQL = Postgres Query Language, this is also true, due to lack in Postgres many standard SQL features still.

There was a very long thread on -advocacy about this:

https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/200709021633490000%402178418992

It ended up(sort of) with PostgreSQL as the official name and Postgres
as 'official' secondary/alternate name. Can't remember if it was this
thread or another where naming questions got spun off into a separate
list in order to prevent a repeat endless discussion. All of this is the
long way of saying I doubt anyone will want to go down this path again.
