I don't think Oracle is the easiest to pronounce because of the c + l. There are certainly better names. DB2 is a simple one. Nothing fancy of fuzzy about it

If you want a word then, how about Firebird.
- dagw 13y ago"Firebird" is non-trivial outside of english and it doesn't mean anything. Most European languages at least have a word that not only sounds a bit like "Oracle" but also means the same thing. I agree that DB2 is fairly simple and to the point.
- geon 13y ago> "Firebird" is non-trivial outside of english What? I can imagine it is in a few languages, but not in any where "Oracle" is trivial. And it does have a meaning, even if it isn't related to databases. "Oracle" is a bit clever that way.
- Oletros 13y agocl in Spanish (clave), French (clef), Italian (, Catalan (clau), etc is a trivial pronunciation if is pronounced not like an English word. And the English pronunciation (kel) is even easier Firebird is complicated. By the way, oracle in Catalan or French is oracle
- easy_rider 13y agoHow about BigTable ? Since it's uhm essentially a big table. When is DB3 coming out?
- nnq 13y agoYeah, it's better than Oracle, but I forgot about it because I haven't heard of anyone using it recently? Btw, who uses Firebird and what does it have over Postgres, SQLServer or Oracle?
