I don't think we have conventions.

There's a few common patterns, where the tag-name might be the
subsystem name, followed by the version number, followed by a possible
sequential tag number. So "acpi-5.17-rc1-3" or "powerpc-5.16-1" or
"net-5.15-rc8" or "mtd/fixes-for-5.14-rc7".

But another common pattern is to just re-use the same tag-name over
and over again, just updating the tag: "arm64-fixes" or
"clk-fixes-for-linus" or whatever.

In fact, the most common tag-name is just some variation of
"for-linus" (variations: "fixes-for-linus", "for_linus",
"hwmon-for-linus" etc etc)

It really doesn't matter, and your "pull-work.fd-fixes" name is fine.
