I think it’s fine. It kind of says “we are geeks that don’t give a shit about marketing”. It makes me trust them.

But on the other hand I am one of the guys who find the Postgres name ugly and boring, so don’t trust me :)

It kinds of says "we are geeks that don't give a fuck about looking professional". It doesn't make me trust them nor want to try their product.
