Wouldn't it be better to leave the existing repository with its current name to prevent breaking anyone who depends on that location, then create the forked repository under an entirely new name (like xstream-fork)?
Other than that minor item, I think it is an interesting idea to clearly show projects which are forks of an upstream project.
