I call CL "lisp." The reason is that CL was invented to unify lisps. It did a great job. There are no other contenders in the space. Other languages in the lisp family have their own names. A language can be "a lisp" or in the "lisp family", but in my eyes Lisp is (Common) Lisp. Scheme is Scheme. Clojure is Clojure. Etc.
