It requires invariant.  The GFDL is full of invariant sections both
accidental and deliberate. "Preserve the section Entitled "History""
"Preserve all the copyright notices " I really don't see a court going
for accepting the license meant accurate enough to be traceable.

But you are right no problem exists. If you want one name across all
projects just pick a unique name.
