Is there a product called, or commonly referred to as "PSQL" that could be confused for PostgresSQL?

Because I think the project should start advocating "PSQL".

See,

The competition is called "MySQL". One syllable, then SQL. You know what it does, and you know how to google it. It googles great, too.

PSQL has the same advantages. Google even already understands it.

The good thing about the current name is that there's a clear distinction (at least to users "in the loop") between "psql", the command-line client, and "postgres" the backend service. I'm quite aggressively against renaming the product to "psql".
