these are words that go together well

From the proceedings of the Twelfth Annual ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms (Washington, DC, 2001):

"A data structure is fully persistent if it varies in time and supports access and modifications of all its versions. A fully persistent data structure that supports update operations on more than one version at a time is called confluently persistent."

I'd like to change my blog's subtitle to "Confluently persistent," but the definition doesn't fit (at least technically).

Maybe "Confluent persistence"?

Not to be confused with persistent confluence, of course!
