I understand that coursier is a launcher besides being a dependency manager but the launcher part isn't really used that often by most people, is it? If so, 2 letter name is likely going to create unnecessary conflicts. Probably not a great idea.

I agree a 2 letter name might be problematic, and it's probably good idea to raise this concern at Coursier's issue tracker.
But also I don't think Nix as a package manager should change program names. Consistency is more important, otherwise running other people's scripts would be impossible.

That's not a very intelligent argument- all application providers would try to use the least number of words and then wait for the first package manager to package it. Oh no, everyone now needs to use the same name otherwise "scripts will not work"
