    From the article linked on this very post:

    Those open source values even extend to how you pronounce the engine’s name. We asked if Godot is pronounced “Go-dough,” like the play, or “Go-dot.”

    “It’s open source,” Verschelde said with a grin. “Pronounce it however you like.”

      They’re being diplomatic. From Wikipedia:

      The name “Godot” was chosen due to its relation to Samuel Beckett’s play Waiting for Godot, as it represents the never-ending wish of adding new features in the engine, which would get it closer to an exhaustive product, but never will.
