I wouldn't worry about naming conflicts per se, just unfortunate or misleading ones (e.g. company names).

I think "bpm" is a clever name for a faster npm client because "beats per minute" is a speed measurement and thus associated with something going really fast.

IED on the other hand has the association of people dying or being crippled by terrorists.
