I'm surprised that nobody else has mentioned this yet...

Some systems can't handle newsgroups with leading digits in parts of
the name. A number of groups have been originally proposed that way, and
they all have been changed due to this problem...in fact, the u3b.*
hierarchy started out in life as the 3b.* hierarchy and had to be renamed.

No, I don't have a specific suggestion, but having groups named .3b1 and
.3b2 will cause problems.
