Is there any plan to make game names distinct from driver names?

You can make game-specific ini files but if the driver name is the same as one of the games in the driver, it doesn't work because it's treated as a driver-specific ini file and all games in the driver are affected.

For example: galaga.cpp and galaga.ini

I think it would have to be some kind of driver-specific prefix on the driver name followed by maybe an underscore or two. I guess they could even START with an underscore, but I'm sure some OS or build tool might have a problem with that.

_galaga.cpp
d_galaga.cpp
d__galaga.cpp
dr_galaga.cpp
drv_galaga.cpp
driver_galaga.cpp
mame_galaga.cpp
