Is Lisp core to the functioning of the product or is it going to be transparent to your end users? If the site could be written in another language with zero impact to the users, then I don't know that picking a Lisp(y) name is going to be a good way to attract people to your site.
In the interest of answering your question, I found the following:

Reification
Reification is a generic term that roughly means "Make an abstract concept" concrete. Specific to programming, when something is reified, it roughly means you can treat it as data (or "First-class object"). An example of this in lisp is functions the lambda expression gives you the ability to create a concrete, first-class object that represents the abstract concept of a function call. Another example is a CLOS class, which is itself a CLOS object, that represents the abstract concept of a class.

Reification is the idea of taking an abstract idea and making it concrete. Take a look on namemesh for reify and reification to see what pops out at you.
Hope that helps.
