I would suggest that the proposed podling works with their champion to figure out if the name needs to be changed before incubation. This isn't typically how we do it. Typically, a name needs to be in a related field. If there was something called "Cava" that also dealt with Blockchain or databases or similar, then the name "Cava" would be an issue. Just because a restaurant chain is named Cava doesn't mean it's not a suitable name.
