<div><span style="line-height:22px;font-size:13px;font-family:sans-serif">Hi Guys,</span></div><div><span style="line-height:22px;font-size:13px;font-family:sans-serif">I note that in the theme review guidelines that is says...</span></div>
<span style="line-height:22px;font-size:13px;font-family:sans-serif">"Themes are </span><b style="line-height:22px;font-size:13px;font-family:sans-serif">not</b><span style="line-height:22px;font-size:13px;font-family:sans-serif"> to use related Theme names (e.g. </span><i style="line-height:22px;font-size:13px;font-family:sans-serif">WP Twenty Eleven</i><span style="line-height:22px;font-size:13px;font-family:sans-serif">, </span><i style="line-height:22px;font-size:13px;font-family:sans-serif">Twenty Eleven WP</i><span style="line-height:22px;font-size:13px;font-family:sans-serif">, </span><i style="line-height:22px;font-size:13px;font-family:sans-serif">The Twenty Eleven</i><span style="line-height:22px;font-size:13px;font-family:sans-serif">, etc.) in their name"</span><div>
<br></div><div>Does this mean that if a theme on the repository already has used a particular word in its name that it cannot be used in another themes name?</div><div><br></div><div>Lets take Emil's theme for example.. The word 'Responsive' is a common usage word.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Does the rule above intend that no other theme could use a common usage word such as 'Responsive' in their title, and that Responsive theme itself has the only rights to use that word in a title, on first come first served basis?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Here's some quick made up examples of what I mean...</div><div><br></div><div>Super Responsive</div><div>Mobile Responsive</div><div>Responsive to the Max</div><div><br></div><div>Would those pass as theme names with the above rule? or not allowed?</div>
<div><br></div><div>If those names were not allowed then it would follow that if I decided to release a theme called 'Mobile' then no one else would be able to name their theme with the word 'Mobile' in it eg. Ultra Mobile, Mobile Plus, Mega Mobile.</div>
<div><br></div><div>To sum up...</div><div>I'm seeking clarification on whether common usage words can be included in new theme name, even if an existing theme uses the common usage word. </div><div><br></div><div>Its an interesting conundrum ;)</div>
<div><br></div><div>Many Thanks,</div><div>Stuart</div>
