Except for translations, i think that forks should not be named
"PostgreSQL Magazine".
My general concern is : what happens if someone get the source file,
puts his own articles (or more likely advertisment) in it ? I'd be
uncomfortable if that new version used the same name that the original one.
Of course, we can argue that there are different types of forks. Some
may consider that the name should be changed only if the content is
modified. I disagree with that. Personnally i think that (like body and
soul) layout and content can't be separated...
Now this is just my point of view. I don't have a strong opinion about
this. If you want to keep the original name, do it. I won't stop you :)

I don't understand why. To me there are at least 3 simple ways to
fulfill your desire :
a/ Changing the name would take 2 minutes. Compared to the work needed
by the format change, it's peanuts. I could even write a scribus script
to do it in 3 seconds tops :)
b/ Again, you can print the magazine in the original A4 format via
lulu.com. The copies will be printed and shipped from the US.
c/ I guess other printing services in US can handle A4 paper too.
Anyway this first issue is just a demo. If we decide to launch the
magazine for real, there will be lots of questions raised such as the
economic model, the number of pages and of course the "trademark"
policy. About the paper format, if people prefer US Letter instead of
A4, obviously we'll switch to Letter
