The only real limit for a list name is what seems reasonable. For
instance, you probably do not want to have a list address such as
"this-is-a-list-about-toad-the-wet-sprocket-playing-music-with-electric-light-orchestra-and-the-beatles-mailing-list-ml",
because, well, that's really incredibly long - not to mention a little
redundant. =) (Or, in a nutshell, the list name should be descriptive,
but short.)
As to the addresses, I know the names and addresses are semi separate -
and as near as I can tell, it's only limited by how long an address can
be. I don't remember what that limit is.
