<div dir="ltr">My personal take is that, while we have valid reason to prohibit use of terms like "WordPress", "Theme", "Twenty {Year}", etc., we should otherwise be as open as possible regarding Theme Name terms. If a developer want to use a common term, then the developer assumes all risk associated with use of that term.<div>
<br></div><div>So, if someone names a Theme "Marketing Term du Jour", and someone else names their Theme, "Blue Marketing Term du Jour": not our problem. They're distinct Themes in the directory; SVN sees them as distinct Themes. We (WPTRT) don't care otherwise.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Just my opinion...</div></div><div class="ecxHOEnZb"><div class="h5"><div class="ecxgmail_extra"><br><br><div class="ecxgmail_quote">On Thu, Jan 23, 2014 at 8:14 AM, Otto <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:otto@ottodestruct.com" target="_blank">otto@ottodestruct.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="ecxgmail_quote" style="border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">You can use the name "Cobalt", if desired. We can't be quite that<br>
restrictive on naming because otherwise we'd run out of names<br>
eventually.<br>
<br>
Still, whether you want to use that name is up to you. Renaming things<br>
before release is easy.<br>
