Or, you could use a letter other than P to minimize the resemblance to Vim's 
paste.

Or, you could always paste below and on the same level, but paste it folded, 
so that if someone really wants to make it a child, a double angle bracket 
wil do it.

Or howbout this: ,,P pastes above the current line, as a sibling, while ,,p 
pastes below the current line, as a child.
