Comment (by Otto42):

 Why not just Google the name?

 If a name is already used, then simply googling for "XYZ wordpress theme"
 would most likely work. This is because we only block a theme from
 submitting when we know of at least 50 sites running that exact slug. In
 other words, the theme name is being used by some people, somewhere in the
 world, so therefore, they had to find it too.
