Jorge answered this pretty well.
Yes the name/cn can be the same if the groups are in different containers.
The sAMAccountNames need to be different if in the same domain.
The displayName should be different or you could get some serious confusion
if you mailenable both.
The Distribution
It shouldn't cause you a problem. The reason is because they don't have the
same name other than the displayname. Everything else should be different.

each group in AD (distribution and/or security) must have a unique
samaccountname (pre-windows 2000 name) within the domain and must have a unique
common name within a container/OU.
Your groups have the same common name and they can exist because they are in
separate OUs. That's OK. Moving
