The name is certainly ugly, but it's got history behind it: it gives
appropriate credit to those who went before us.  (Don't forget that
the roots of this project go back twenty-odd years.)  There's unlikely
to be much support around here for changing the name, no matter what
alternative is offered.

FWIW, I say "post-gres-cue-ell", same as Marc.
