They could just wait until they get a complaint and change it then. There's no reason to just avoid the name outright.

- sillysaurusx 3y agoA dmca counter claim takes at least 14 long days to respond with. In the meantime, your vitality will dry up. Trademark infringement is a bit different, since there’s no analogue to the dmca process. But it’s pretty reasonable to want to avoid the hassle by just changing a few words. (What is the expected litigation route for trademark claims anyway? Can they knock a project offline, or just send a strongly worded lawyer letter?)

IANAL, but I would expect a cease-and-desist letter or the national equivalent depending on the country you're living in. Usually you have a short delay to remediate, or risk getting sued.
