> My bad, I was pronouncing SQLite as "See-Queue-Ell-ight" but "Ess-Queue-Light" makes much more sense.

Your pronunciation isn't necessarily wrong. There's a long post about it on Stack Exchange, including references to a few videos from Richard (the guy who chose the name):

<https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/431329/what-is-the-correct-pronunciation-of-sqlite>

Here's a quote from one of the responses:

> Edit: According to your edit the creator of SQLite pronounces it as "Ess-Cue-El-Eye". I don't think that's how he actually pronounces it, he's just talking fast and sloppy. He pronounces it (in my ears at least) as "Ess-Cue-El-ite". And later in that presentation he explicitly says that he doesn't care how you pronounce it.

Similarly, myself and most people i've spoken with about libqt pronounce it as "lib-queue-tee," but the Qt developers i saw speak at a conference all pronounced it "lib-cute."

*Shrug.*
