            <div>A custom theme should use a custom name. If the theme
              is for "Example.com" then it should be named "Example.com
              Whatever". Why would a custom "bespoke" theme have a
              generic name?</div>

    Because, as far as I can tell, a lot of developers aren't aware that
    this is a problem.  I have worked on lots of sites that have custom
    themes, and the vast majority of them have fairly generic names
    (usually the brand name of the website).<br>
    <br>
    If I'm the only person who thinks this is a problem, I'm perfectly
    happy to drop it.<br>
