I like "Waterline", as proposed by Alicorn.

My friend says it makes her think it has to do with boating. There should be a separate focused attempt to come up with the best name.

I agree. The waterline metaphor is not so commonly known outside LW that it would evoke anything except some watery connotations.

So, what about a nice-looking acronym like "Truth, Rationality, Universe, Eliezer"? :)

Seriously? This place already has a rep for being a personality cult. Let's not purposefully reinforce it. ;)

If there is concern that people outside of LW won't know the metaphor, then the name "Rationality Waterline" can be used at first with the goal of gaining enough recognition to move on to simply "Waterline" at a later date.
