    What do you think of the name "Lambda School?" Too difficult to spell?

        Lambda functions are a fairly advanced programming concept, so seems unnecessarily obscure, given that it's hard to spell if heard out loud. Depends what level of students you're targeting.

        Do you also need to consider the other side on how the brand plays with potential employers?

        Of course, it may also be an appropriate association.

        Can you buy all three domains for the major spelling errors? If so, then nope, you'll educate them when it redirects.

        On a side note, in French, "a lambda student" means a student that's average in all aspects...

        It does imply functional programming, but I disagree with the notion that lambda functions are themselves difficult

        For a while I assumed you were running a Haskell boot camp for some reason because of it.

        Only problem I see with that is that some may not know how to pronounce it.
