IAANM, Church didn't choose lambda at all. He chose to put a "hat" (like a circumflex accent) above the bound name. Then, because of some typesetting difficulties, this was transformed into the nearest thing that looked like it: a capital lambda in front of the name ... and later the capital lambda turned into a lowercase one. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
