Personally, I like the names CAR and CDR and how they extend, e.g.
CADR, CDDR, etc.
Because the POP-2 family allowed
tl(l)
to be written as
l.tl
(assuming l was of a suitably simple form), this could be easily extended,
with little syntactical clutter or need for shortcut aliases, to things
like
l.tl.tl.tl.tl
etc.
