I would advise that the name should not invite confusion with the
existing license texts that actually are published prominently for the
Berkeley Standard Distribution.

In other words, if this is not identical with an existing widely-known
BSD license text, don't use BSD in the name.

You could instead choose a short name that is specific to that work.
e.g. “License: CISCO-CSA”.
