SysMLv2: Cameo: CAUTION: The "name" displayed for root namespaces on nodes in the model containment browser is just GENERATED from one or more named members within that root namespace. A root namespace does NOT have a name in the underlying SysMLv2 model!

Full quote
A root namespace is a namespace that has no owner. The owned members of a root namespace are known as top-level elements.
Next snippet
Any element that is not a root namespace has an owner and, therefore, must be in the ownership tree of a top-level element of some root namespace.

The declaration of a root namespace is implicit and no identification of it is provided in the SysML notation. Instead, the content of a root namespace is given simply by the list of its top-level elements.
For the purposes of model interchange ... a single project may contain one or more root namespace, though there is no syntax for defining a project in the SysML syntax.
While a root namespace has no explicit owner, it is considered to be within the scope of a single global namespace.
This global namespace may contain several root namespaces (such as those being managed as a project), and always contains at least all of the KerML and SysML model libraries ...
Any root namespace within the global namespace may refer to the name of a top-level element of any other root namespace using an unqualified name (since root namespaces are themselves never named).
