Hi Omer, Nope, if you already got the project name that you wanted, there is no reason to worry about a name conflict.
In general, we reserve project names that are already in use on sf.net as a way to help avoid end-user confusion, especially with well-established OSS projects. Even in a case where a name is reserved, we will still allow it to be used if the sf.net project owner agrees or if that project has never been active or has not had any activity in more than a year. However, I'll take this opportunity to mention my best advice for dealing with a name conflict: choose a more descriptive name. Having a name that says what your project does will make it easier for potential users to find it and understand what it does. Cool sounding code names are fun for you to choose, but not very helpful for users.
