I thing, that it is the best solution to change the name for the
second list. Many list-robots use <list>-admin as the adress for the
Admin or Moderator of the list, for example Mailman and Majordomo. So
it is nearly a standard, because it is often used.
On my system all Mailinglists have -ml appended. To take your Example:
foo-ml:                    "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post foo-ml"
foo-ml-admin:              "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner foo-ml"
foo-ml-request:            "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd foo-ml"
foo-ml-owner:              foo-ml-admin

foo-admin-ml:                    "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post foo-admin-ml"
foo-admin-ml-admin:              "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner foo-admin-ml"
foo-admin-ml-request:            "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd foo-admin-ml"
foo-admin-ml-owner:              foo-admin-ml-admin

If you can see there is no problem with this combination. Another
positiv reason is that you can see if it is a normal address or a
mailinglist.
Hope you understand it, because my english isn't the best.

Bye
Markus
