"Blocked words" are not enforced while creating Groups from EAC
I have setup "Blocked words" in exchange admin through the Group creation policy. I added a word "Test" in the blocked words. I tried to create a Office 365 Group "Test group 1" with tenant admin log...

Blocked Words Policy only works using OWA as you have discovered...we are waiting for the promised Azure AD Policy that will allow to avoid the use of blocked words not matter where you try to create a Group

This documentation https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj218693%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396 (though old) says "Distribution group naming policy"
I am not sure what are the other ways to create a Distribution group except through Exchange admin or Office 365 Admin center. So if the blocked keywords does not apply to the Distribution groups also, what is that documentation explaining ? It clearly says Applies to Exchange online !
