In SQL, to designate a table name you would use the CREATE TABLE statement followed by the name of the table you wish to create. The syntax for this statement is:

CREATE TABLE table_name (column1 datatype, column2 datatype, column3 datatype, ...);

Where table_name is the name you want to give your table and column1, column2, column3, etc. are the names of the columns within the table. Each column is followed by a data type, which specifies what kind of data will be stored in that column.

It is important to choose a name for your table that is descriptive and easy to remember, as this will help you to identify it later on when you are writing queries. Table names should be unique within a database, so it is important to choose a name that is not already in use by another table in the same database.
