Yes. The official (i.e. possibly longer) name and the URL should be
unambiguous, but there should also be a unique short name for use in discussion.
None of the three should be easily confusable with ELPA, but any of them could
suggest some relation to it.
For those reasons I supported Byung-Hee's suggestion of
`gnu-emacs-lisp-package-archive.gnu.org' and the acronym GELPA (which recalls
ELPA but is qualified).
`Lisp' could be dropped, if this is the only Emacs package archive. And
`archive' could be dropped by using `packages'. For the URL, as opposed to the
long name, the prefix `gnu-' could be dropped if length is a problem (but why
would it be?):
URL: emacs-packages.gnu.org
Name: GNU Emacs Packages
Abbrev: GEP
