No, whatever name you want as long as it's not the same name of any other volume. Did the error message say why the process failed? Where did the process fail? Did it fail during formatting or during macOS installation?
I called Apple support. I was trying to erase the first item under internal disks and I just was supposed to erase the indented one below that called Macintosh HD. I did that and the process worked. I think their online instructions could have been more explicit. Thank you very much for your help. Appreciate it.
I followed this and received the error message that the process failed. Do I have to name the volume a specific name?
