Considering the amount of parentophobia in the general populace I would
suggest minimizing the use of not strictly necessary parentheses in the
name.  It should be short, easy to write and somewhat related to what
the system is doing. My vote would be LispOS.
 - On the other hand, I think the name is not the most important thing
at this stage. I'd suggest building the system first and using whatever
name survives :-)
