Some people pronounce SQL as "sequel", and some as "squeal" (sh.itjust.works)

...But I've only ever heard SSL pronounced as its three letters. Why not like "Cecil"? Or "Sizzle"?

I'm definitely in the 'sequel' camp, but the favourite I've heard is 'squirrel'. I couldn't get behind that. I have done some stuff in spaces where 'squeal' was used, along with pig iconography being present in internal tools. 🐷
