For this kind of situation, I would recommend to change at least one 
name. If the concepts are the same, may be we could use only one
class by merging the two initial classes. If concepts are different,
two new long name are better.
Afterall, there is no multiple namespaces in Smalltalk and they
are building very complex applications.
Just my point of view.
