It can be hard sometimes to come up with names that aren't already in use. I think as long as it's clear in the description what it is, and the same name isn't shared for two projects that do approximately the same thing, maybe it's not so bad. There could also be an issue where command names might be the same so one would have to be changed. I recall this may have been a small issue when the Go language was new, as there was also a game of go available in some distro repositories. I believe that's generally solved now.
