The obvious method is to use the same name for the namespace as you use for your module name or the command names, e.g. the fancybreak module has the commands \definefancybreak, \setupfancybreak and the namespace „fancybreak“ and Adityas visualcounter module can use the namespace „visualcounter“ (there is no need to use capitals).

I just want to register my namespace(s) to be sure to avoid conflicts
not only for modules but also for lua code

Think for example to something like
document.lscarso = document.lscarso or {}
function document.lscarso.lua_pixGetPixel(pixs,x,y)
    local scratch = 0
    local res = ''
    scratch = leptonica.uti_getref_l_uint32()
    if (leptonica.pixGetPixel(pixs,x,y,scratch) == 0) then
       res =  leptonica.uti_valref_l_uint32(scratch)
    else
     print("! Error on ",x,y)
     res = ''
    end
    return res
end

with a registered namespace (or, better, a suffix) I will be sure to
avoid conflicts forever
