If you are overloading the procedure with multiple definitions you would
provide a unique specific name to each procedure. Otherwise you can use
the same name as the procedure itself.

Here an excerpt from the v7r1 SQL Reference concerning Specific names.
The specific name for a procedure: When defining multiple procedures
with the
same name and schema (with different number of parameters), it is
recommended
that a specific name also be specified. The specific name can be used to
uniquely
identify the procedure when dropping, granting to, revoking from, or
commenting
on the procedure.
If specific-name is not specified, it is the same as the procedure name.
If a function
or procedure with that specific name already exists, a unique name is
generated
similar to the rules used to generate unique table names.
