         6) Change the name to "Postgres" and emphasize "PostgreSQL" as
            an alternative

My vote -- #6. Announce it with release of 8.3. Allow a relatively slow,
natural transition from "PostgreSQL with Postgres as alt" to "Postgres
with PostgreSQL as alt" (e.g. over the course of a year or so as has
been mentioned).
