Both methods will work.  Modelines can be specified directly in
the Monitor section.  Putting them in a separate Modes section is
most useful when you have multiple Monitor sections what want to
use the same modelines.  As usual, the XF86Config(5) man page is
the place to go to check up on stuff like this.  It is pretty
comprehensive, and I try to keep it up to date.

The name can be anything you like.  In fact if you want to eliminate
any doubt that a custom mode you specify is the one getting used, give
it an unusual name :-).  That makes it easy to check for it in the
XFree86 log file.  We definitely need to see that log file to see what's
going on here.
