[theme-reviewers] Need Clarification on theme name which is fine as per the guideline and as per the other theme names !

[Srikanth Koneru]

My changed example is the ground reality, If its not within the purview of
TRT(not sure why it isn't) I was willing to make my case before WP
foundation but Otto seems to speak for them so its not needed anymore.

If you want a enforceable, objective, definable and fair naming standards,
you should simply ask us to use made up names like divi, avada, kyan, bron
