Is there a naming convention for git repositories?

For example, I have a RESTful service called Purchase Service. Should I name my repository:

  1. purchaserestservice
  2. purchase-rest-service
  3. purchase_rest_service
  4. or something else?

What's the convention? How about in GitHub? Should public repositories follow some standard?
