Solution 4

As noted, officially it is the "Lambda operator"
Unofficially, some (Scott Hanselman, ...) call it the "Anders operator" ;)
so

C#

x => x + 2

is pronounced:

X anders X plus two

Solution 2

It's called the "Lambda operator" and it introduces an inline function definition.
MSDN[^] describes it well.
