One point I did not already see mentioned: it's a good idea to check
also what the rest of the world uses for a package's %{name}. If
there's a common trend to call it something, and it does not conflict
with the rest of our guidelines, it'd be a good idea to follow that.
Some places where this can be easily checked:
http://rpm.pbone.net/
http://www.rpmseek.com/
http://rpmfind.net/
Somewhat related example case:
