Is there any reason to name the net8 listener ?

you have more than one listener on a server, that is a reason to name

There are valid reasons for having multiple listeners on a machine. If you
need several and you want to control them from one admin account, you have
little choice.

That said, you always name the listener. In most cases you name it LISTENER
as that is the default.

it is nice
to keep the listener with the instance it listens for, otherwise you may
have to
listen for an Oracle 9i database with an Oracle 8.0.5 listener (not really
want to do that)
and at some point the listener needs to move to (because one box dies),
should it have its own resource group (no is the simplest answer).
