Yes. In my case, I learned of PostgreSQL after learning of its long distant realitive - Ingres.
Where Ingres' base name with used to to produce <In|Post>gres. And then came Postgres95. And
then came PostgreSQL.
I suppose that if one understands the history that led to "PostgreSQL" then it becomes reasonable
to pronounce it as Post-gres-QL.
