The current commands used to make sure everything updated are not

The name of package management commands seems like it would largely be
personal preference.
Each person using Guix could customize the commands to their own
preferences using Bash aliases or an equivalent for the shell they are
using. For Bash refer to the Aliases section of it's info
documentation.
- pull -> update or refresh
- upgrade -> can be kept or package-upgrade
- reconfigure /etc/config.scm -> dist-upgrade or distro-upgrade or
system-upgrade
For command names there are many package managers that you can look to
for inspiration. Here are some examples:
* Gentoo - emerge
* OpenBSD - pkg
* Void - xbps
* Alpine - apk
* Debian - apt
* Arch - pacam or paru
* Fedora - dnf
OR There is another approach some distros taking which is using
shortcuts to only letters e.g
pull -> p or -p
upgrade -> u or -u
reconfigure -> re or -re
This could also be done with shell aliases.
