I just glanced over the Wikipedia article for lambda calculus and there is at least one mention to “lambda functions”, right in the intro.

What’s wrong with “lambda functions”?



To me it sounds like you say twice, that you have a procedure or lambda.

A lambda ("expression" is often not even said, instead simply "this lambda here ...") in many programming languages is already an anonymous procedure and often an anonymous function. So saying "lambda function" makes it sound like "procedure function" or "function function" or "lambda lambda".
