You can call the delegation whatever you like, as long as the name is
legal and it's not owned by someone else. All that matters is that the
name servers for the parent and child zones agree on the name. It
might be an idea to follow the conventions used in RFC2317, just so
you're using a documented "standard" for the names of the delegated
reverse zones. Any of the names above are OK.
