I think I need to adjust the passage a bit to emphasize that the Emacs/ELPA maintainers would *prefer* a simple and straightforward name like "gobject". However, I also think it's important to show how you can come up with a good compromise if you're a package author who just can't let go of your fun package name. In my mind, showing in the documentation how to compromise on this would go a long way towards making package authors not feel like they're being micromanaged.
