It would be like me submitting a theme called Solar and then somebody else submitting a theme called Solar Flare. The biggest thing really is communicating that with the author. If they really have an issue with it we can, as a team, come up with a reasonable solution, right? Granted some are more active than others but more feedback is better than none. :)<div>

(<i>while we hate to Police the names</i>)</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Before we do an actual Theme review, can you please check the names first and if the name is not appropriate, don't approve, or even continue with the ticket at all.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">We have been approving names similar to:</div><div class="gmail_default">
<ul style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><li>My Business<br></li><li>Your Business<br></li><li>Our Business<br></li><li>Flat Bootstrap<br></li><li>Real Bootstrap<br></li><li>Better Bootstrap</li><li>Good News</li><li>All News</li>
<li>Real-Estate News <br></li></ul><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">That's not good and also makes admins job difficult when we need to reopen the ticket and close as not-approved because of the Theme name.</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">So if we already have a Theme called <i>Example</i>, <i>WP Example</i> won't be appropriate, therefore should not be approved either.</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Names must not be related to another Theme and no SEO injected keywords either.</div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">
</div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">This is a full-stop and instant not-approval, no questions asked. </div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">
Why? Two reasons. </div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">1) Our guideline says:</div><div><ul><li><font face="verdana, sans-serif">Themes are required to use appropriate Theme Names.</font><br>
</li><li><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Themes are not to use related Theme names (e.g. WP Twenty Fourteen, Twenty Fourteen WP, The Twenty Fourteen, etc.) in their name.</span><br></li></ul><div><font face="verdana, sans-serif">2) When Theme name changes it goes into different priority and won't be associated with first submission in anyway. It becomes a totally different beast.</font></div>
<div><font face="verdana, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="verdana, sans-serif">This is to avoid confusion, not only for users, but also for authors as well. </font></div><div><font face="verdana, sans-serif"><br>
</font></div><div><font face="verdana, sans-serif">Once we mark the ticket live there's nothing more we can do about, so if you can, let's try to avoid that please!</font></div><div><font face="verdana, sans-serif"><br>
</font></div><div><font face="verdana, sans-serif">Thanks,</font></div><div><font face="verdana, sans-serif">Emil</font></div></div></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div></div>
