Wouldn't it be better to show somehow the relationship in the name? IMO
it is already clear that it is not identical to a BSD license if I use a
(slightly) different name, like "Simplified-BSD-3-Clause" or
"BSD-3-Clause-alike".

If the text is identical, one would use the predefined short names;
reversely that means that if it is not a predefined short name, that it
is not the identical text.
