It's about the most difficult question you can ask. Try to write an
article about good naming of modules that is universally applicable
and you will note that it takes several years to write it:-)
In general, if there is an existing namespace where a module fits
good, choose a close namespace and forget about marketing aspects.
In general, if your company has developed a suite of 250 modules, all
interrelated and intertwined, then *please* use a unique namespace (be
it company name or pet name).
You see, it depends...
