Vote for bundling certain suffixes (like FREE, PRO, PREVIEW, BETA) to the App-Name

Right now, you can not register these suffixes forever without using them but you should be able to get them automatically.

For example, the "PRO" extension stands usually for a better version of the same app from the SAME DEVELOPER but if someone else uses this, it could be misleading.

I have a successful app in the store which someone else now released a version which looks very similar to mine under the "Pro" suffix and this can be very misleading to my users. Since most of us don't have a trademark on app names, this should be forced by the store (everybody will benefit with this, Developers and Microsoft with a cleaner app store).

I was in contact with Microsoft and it was suggested to me to post this as a feature request. This will most certainly benefit all developers!
If you would also like this to happen, vote it up...
