I like very much the name "Encyclopedia Galactica".

It is like the objectieve of Wikipedia "a collaborative project to produce a free and complete encyclopedia in every language" , a very bold name.

Encyclopædia Galactica would clash with Isaac Asimov's EG ;)  And

it's perhaps a bit too bold. How about something less big, like the Earth instead of the Galaxy... Encyclopædia Terra or something like that, I don't speak Latin... Then again, neither really looks

wiki-ish.

Isn't the Encyclopædia Galactica Douglas Adams? Hmm..it is, but it's also Asimov. Is that a reference I never got, or a coincidence?

Anyways...

What about Encyclopædia Nova? It's got a nice sound (stiff and solid, like a 'real' encyclopedia :)), it doesn't claim wiki-ness (wikosity?), it doesn't attempt to revive or redefine Nupedia, and it makes reference to Nupedia (whether 'new' was actually an inteded meaning of not). And Google seems to think the name's free.
