A couple things to keep in mind:
1. Whatever the name, it'll appear as the second entry on this page:
http://www.lugnet.com/news/groups/
2. It'll be pretty obvious what the name means upon entering the group
and reading a couple articles. (This is pretty true for most groups.)

Here are the characters that are allowed to appear in newsgroup names:
a-z 0-9 . - +
And I think it also allows capital A-Z too, but those don't typically appear
in practice.
Newsgroup components between the .'s also need to be 14 characters or fewer,
so something like lego-shop-at-home-service isn't allowed. (Actually,
components of length 15+ are allowed by the protocol, but it's cautioned
that 14 is guaranteed to work with all clients, while 15+ isn't.)
