The convention is that functions in a package (and variables) should
have names which show their relationship to that package.  Usually we
do that by using the package name as a prefix, but that is not the
only way to do it.  It is ok to use the package name (or some form of
it) later on in the name.

So if there is a package called frob that works with things called frobs,
it is natural and ok for it to contain a command 'list-frobs'.
