The name should be short, easily recognized, and make some kind of sense. It is important that the name look reasonable because we want the natural human pattern matching ability that nearly all users can be expected to have to notice when someone uses a name that is not quite correct, and to not reject the name because it looks weird.
Honestly, discussions like this make me feel genuine despair for the IETF. Why do we keep having this silly argument? I was up until two in the morning last night because I couldn't let go of the sorrow and frustration that I feel about being forced to have this discussion again when we are already doing with to address this problem in a different working group, and we already had the same discussion over .onion. Why do we need to talk this through again?
