As it says in the Related Article at the top of this page that you were reading when you posted, As well as the (same) link provided by ResortCasual, you cannot name a group text if there are any SMS (as opposed to iMessage) users in the group. It’s a limitation of the SMS protocol. You also can’t remove members from any group text that includes non-iPhone SMS users, something to keep in mind when creating a group message.
