Select fork name

Problem to solve

Currently it's very annoying when I'm trying to fork two public projects with same names.

Intended users

External contributors, gitlab users

Further details

For example I have forked https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab to my own namespace cause I have sent some MRs, a also want to sent MR to https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab so I'm trying to fork it. Suddenly I already have gitlab named project in my namespace so I'm unable to do that without renaming or creating another namespace (group).

Proposal

It would be cool if it would be possible to select target project name when you are forking same way as currently possible to select target group.

Testing

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

What is the type of buyer?
