 Hi there!

 That's the expected behaviour. For themes hosted on WordPress.org, we only
 allow one theme per folder name, and we check for updates based on that
 folder name.

 For themes not hosted on WordPress.org, you must choose a unique folder
 name - we generally recommend you name it after the site the theme is for,
 or perhaps prefix it with your name, or your business name.
