As a user I love the way to "fork" it using the original name as long as the original author doesn't complain. It reduces confusion to new users instead of creating confusions as some developer may think. The alive version quickly tops Google result that users start to use a more maintained version without knowing something happened. The original author may lost contact or no longer working and that's not the reason to force user to get used to a new name and document authors to update everything written.
