It's probably not a great idea.  Two of the OS distributions I have
installed (Debian and MacPorts) have both sqlite2 and sqlite3.
Another (Gentoo) doesn't provide sqlite2 at all AFAICS, but is
inconsistent about naming: some ebuild names (including the main
library itself) call it "sqlite", but equally many refer to "sqlite3".

sqlite3 may be improper, but it seems to be the unambiguous name.
