I would like to release a software with Commons Clause, but I don't entirely like the "Commons" name. Would it be accurate to call it "Apache 2 + Do-not-resell Clause"?

Saying "Apache 2 + anything" is disrespectful of the Apache brand because you're adding additional restrictions that don't exist in the original; likewise with "GPL + restriction".
Though with GPL + restriction, the license explicitly states that such restrictions can be removed. So it's less of an issue.
