We had a brief discussion about the name on #haskell today. I didn't care for isSubstringOf in this particular case, since this function isn't limited to strings. On the other hand, isInfixOf isn't a particularly intuitive name either, so suggestions would be good.
These two jump to mind:
isSublistOf isSubsequenceOf
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsequence "Substring vs. subsequence In computer science, string is often used as a synonym for sequence, but it is important to note that substring and subsequence are not synonyms. Substrings are consecutive parts of a string, while subsequences need not be. This means that a substring of a string is always a subsequence of the string, but the opposite is not true."
