How about adding a new ServiceName property? Default it to the component name, but let the user customize it if desired.

Perhaps, but that doesn't negate the fact that spaces are allowed and supported by Microsoft. On my machine, I have services installed that have names like "Apple Mobile Device Service", "AVG Antivirus", "Bluetooth Device Monitor", "Bonjour Service", "Dell Hardware Support", etc. Those are the actual service names, not just descriptions.
