Well, Haskell was Curry's first name, so perhaps we should use "Moses", which was Schönfinkel's first name, and has some nice biblical metaphors :-)

"Haskell" is fine for that. In Biblical Hebrew, it means "enlightenment" or "insight".

With slightly less dignity, "Haskell" in Icelandic sounds close to "rasskell" - which in turn means "a spanking". :) cheers, Arnar
