The dev team of dota source can't decide on the name so could you please vote for keeping the name Dota Source or changing it to a different name. Then post a reply with name suggestions.

Thanks, NZNobody

Personally i would go with another name. If you name it Dota Source people will have unreasonable expectations and it will be automaticly compared to the success of DOTA, this however is a impossible task and will not deliver.
A suggestion would be to do a spin off on dota and kinda develop the project to "your own thing" and that dosn't have to involve dota.
