We can assist we renaming -
However - we would not recommend "oma" as that is also rather short and ambiguous, especially considering that is the exact abbreviated name of the database your package accesses - Could you come up with perhaps a more unambigious and meaningful name? for example here are some existing rest api for databases: KEGGREST : Client-side REST access to KEGG goTools: Functions for Gene Ontology database IMPCdata: Retrieves data from IMPC database InterMineR: R Interface with InterMine-Powered Databases BgeeDB: Annotation and gene expression data retrieval from Bgee database maybe something along those lines?

So far the package is only in the development version. Is there a standard process how to proceed with such requests? Thanks!
