There are several lisp dialects. Some of them have even been used for comercial games. Common lisp and clojure(the two most popular dialects) can be used to write pretty much any kind of software. But as a first language, I don't know. Scheme(the third most popular lisp) was my second language, and i had no trouble with it, but i already had a year of python under my belt. i'd say learn python, ruby or javascript first.

So then what is your suggestion for a first language and why is that your suggestion?

[pavelludiq]

Doesn't matter too much. Any language that i listed will do the job. Just pick one and start writing code, any one of them will make learning lisp later easier.
