> Keccak's (pronounced: ketchup)

I don't think so. From NIST's announcement: http://www.nist.gov/itl/csd/sha-100212.cfm

Oh great, for the next year every tech meeting I go to is going to sound like five people with terminal bronchitis coughing themselves to a standstill as everyne name drops the encryption scheme they want and cannot agree how to pronounce it. I wish Schneier had won .
