Your package name can be literally anything and everything. But when you publish an app on the market place, you need to make sure that your package name is unique.
So, if already someone is using the name of the package in an already published app, you can’t use it.
The reason is that if the package name is same for two apps then the phone OS needs to uninstall the previous app before installing the new one as two apps with the same package name cant co-exist in a phone.
So, it is advisable to make your unique package name and use it while publishing the apps on the marketplace.
I feel that this would be the best way to do it.
