[theme-reviewers] Theme naming feedback

[Sandeep Kumar]

I think theme name should me unique you don't want if a user see theme look
good and they download a wrong file. Whenever i want make a theme then just
make it name as test and take 2 or more days for it's name. My theme name
are simple easy and unique ;)
I love these like ProMax, ReFresh, Optimize, Magazine and eSell .

Regards
