Surely Apache has run into this before, no?
Yup. For example Microsoft has Avalon, and Sony has Cocoon. But our
projects are "Apache Avalon" and "Apache Cocoon".
So it's not *strictly* necessary to change the name, but why
risk when
you don't have a brand to protect anyhow.
Is it possible for a company to register a name which is used by others
in the same domain earlier?

E.g. if Apache uses "Ant" for years; can Microsoft register that name
for another neat tool now?
IANAL, but AFAIK no.
