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

Tue Jul 22 21:02:17 UTC 2014

I don't agree with :

Theme A name: "SEO Keyword" = good
Theme B name "SEO Keyword by a Bunch of Other SEO Keywords ThemeShop" = bad

I think

Theme A name: "SEO Keyword" = bad
Theme B name "SEO Keyword by a Bunch of Other SEO Keywords ThemeShop" = bad
bad bad bad

Names like divi, avada, kyan, bron are fair/enforceable because those made
up names are not SEO keywords.

All I can do is explain my point and if that is okay with admins, then so
be it.
