Hello Hasmat,
 
I am one of the cofounders of 'The Web Application Security Consortium' (http://www.webappsec.org/) and was recently
informed about this thread. Since this is a discussion about the name of your project it probably makes sense to pick 
something less generic; something that makes your unique cause stand out (for your benefit). As to what that name should be
I'm not going to step on anyone's toes as an outsider but I wanted to provide you with some common names/references
within the appsec space that you should be aware of. 

- OWASP (owasp.org): Open 'Web Application Security Project'
- WASC (webappsec.org): The Web Application Security Consortium
- Appsec: Used by SANS for a conference (http://www.sans.org/appsec-2010/) as well as owasp (http://appsecdc.org/)
- webappsec list: Securityfocus.com runs a mailing list called webappsec (http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/107/description)
- The Web Security Mailing List: run by WASC (http://www.webappsec.org/lists/websecurity/) also known as websecurity. 
  We were going to name it webappsec but didn't want to cause additional confusion :)

Feel free to ping me if you're debating related names and I can assist with letting you know if something
similar exists (I am well connected).
