Well, if you think so, then go for it. Best of luck. However, being that I
have the actual download and usage stats, let's just say that I have my
doubts. :)

Names don't matter that much. Your Google-fu is not as strong as you
believe it to be. WordPress.org is indeed a major player, but we're not the
only game in town, and the truth is that people look for themes based on
screenshots and functionality. Names may get you a Google search result,
but they don't get a download or usage, and the fact of the matter is that
people aren't stupid.
