I recently went through the exercise to copy a text layer name - with the default actual text as the layer name - put that single layer into a new group, select the new group name and paste that text layer name in it. The new group is meant to have additional graphics put in it to link the text and graphic into position. The new group is now named the same as the text it contains.

It would be very convenient if a new group would get the name of the top item of the group rather than just "Group". It may not always be the most desirable name for the group, but would be so much better than "Group", and it would still be eligible for renaming as desired. Of course this would not be beneficial if you do not label layers. A top layer labeled "Layer" of the new group could be labeled "Layer Group"

Additionally the new group might come up with a highlighted option to edit the name or allow the name given to remain or supply a new name.
