I agree on the badness of 'racket-web-server', but I still don't like
the idea of making the web server into a subcommand.  Therefore, here
are some suggestions for web server names, following the Native
American tribe name tradition [0]

- Ute or Shoshone, tribes from Utah [1,2]
- Chippewa, a tribe with a game called "Ball and Racket" [3]

[0] Apache, Cherokee
