dont actually see much advantage to including "SQL" or "data" or "base" in
the name - and I do see certain disadvantages of unwanted association and
generalisation (why look at xxxSQL rather than yyyySQL).
If a person does a search for SQL on the web because they happen to be
looking for an SQL database server they are going to get so much back that
they will not notice something like "FireSQL" in the middle of page 1025 of
the search results - to catch such a search we would need to call it
AardvarkSQL.
As long as the home page has a title like "White Knight - The Open-Source
SQL RDBMS" or similar then people should still get the idea - even off the
results of a search. When it gets as famous as MacDonalds - notice that it
is not MacBurger, or MacFastFood - then it wont even need that ;-)
And last but not least: I do like the the name "White Night".
Just a thought
