I had no idea there are people who pronounce Godot as "go-dot." I will never be able to unhear this.

I've always said "god-oh" with a silent 't' like in "Brigitte Bardot".

It is definitely a silent t. They've just misread it.

I agree, it's really annoying.

IIRC...Creators say it doesn't matter, either pronunciation is fine.

They're being tactful. It's clearly a reference to Waiting for Godot. They even said so.

The name "Godot" was chosen in reference 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.

Probably because of misunderstanding the project, and thinking it has something to do with Go (the language). Or, maybe not. But programmers can be really uncreative when naming projects; is a pretty common naming scheme.
