The name of the database doesn't really matter.
There is a config file in the program that points to the database, you just have to re-name it.
Now, what I would suggest when moving a program from one domain(server) to another, is:
On the new server, install phpbb as a new install. Because it has an auto-installer it will make the connections (username/password/database name) automatically.
Then go into phpMyAdmin of the new install and dump the data of all tables. Not the structure, just the data.
Then on the old domain, go into phpMyAdmin and export only the data of all tables and import that into the new database.
does that make sense?
