Just FYI, that decision is solely Otto's, and the WPTRT don't influence it one way or another (mainly because Otto is the one who has to do all the work to make such a change).<div><br></div><div>But for future reference (for all developers): when coming up with a name, *always* check <a href="http://themes.svn.wordpress.org" target="_blank">themes.svn.wordpress.org</a>, to make sure that the theme slug isn't already in use, if you intend to host the Theme at WPORG.</div>

As other people pointed out, the "oneC" name is already taken.<br>
<br>
I'd prefer you choose a new name rather than take over an old one. I<br>
mean, I can give you the name, but I'm reluctant to do that, even for<br>
a 4 year old unsupported theme. Having your own original name is<br>
better.<br>
