I would also add that it helps with debugging, in addition to logging - when you look at threads in jstack / jvisualvm it's easier to see what each is.

The benefit of setting a name is mainly for logging purposes.

The benefit of setting a thread group is so you can use the methods of ThreadGroup on it.
