Sure.  If you are trying to create a standard file name/format then you
should choose a marketable name for it.  That will make it recognizable,
distinct, "googleable", and not tied to CMake or any build system.
It will also provide a meaningful name for the CMake option:

$ cmake ... -DCMAKE_EXPORT_$coolname=1
