Mr. Foy, Thank you for your reply.
I definitely wanted feedback from the list due to the naming guidelines. However, I thought ::Lite might actually be applicable in this case. As I mentioned earlier, my module keeps itself dependent on core Perl and offers a more common set of geo coordinate functions. I thought this would possibly be beneficial to others and I (unfortunately) am not aware of how I could have done this to Geo::Calc directly due to its Moose dependency. Please note that I am not trying to devalue Geo::Calc in any way, and that I am open to other suggestions if you think that would be implied by using ::Lite in the module name. However, if it is your opinion that the module's concept is simply not that beneficial to CPAN and too redundant, I understand that and do not have a problem withholding it. Thanks again for your reply.
