It happens that my package is in nix already, so I picked the non short name of the package.
But from the README is not so clear what one should put there.

Is the opam name ok?
How do I search nix for my package being already there?

You can use https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&query=coqPackages to search for your package.

I think the name expected here is the one that follows the coqPackages. prefix. So it would be similar to what comes after the coq- prefix in the opam name, but some preexisting packages might use some capitalization that's probably not there in opam.

OK thanks, but my real intent was to help you improve the doc, not to answer these questions here ;-)
