The names you have chosen are perfectly acceptable; I don't see any
problem with them. They are descriptive and avoid conflict.

This is not really necessary, as conflicts over names have existed
since the dawn of time. When this happens, the second party generally
has to adapt their name in an imaginative way to avoid having the same
name. From there, if over time the original package disappears (or
becomes irrelevant) and the new package becomes much more relevant, the
new package may adapt the original name, but this is something that
only happens over time and in a natural, organic way.

In short, I don't think it's necessary to complicate things.
