If you're trying to get something descriptive on the display line for each host, see the COMMENT tag in the bb-hosts manpage. "Description" is the name of a field in the DESCR tag, but the contents go on the Info page, not on the main display. By default, Xymon wants to look up the host names in DNS (or at least using a resolver function), and thus they should be RFC-compliant.

I don't think host names can have spaces. It must be alphanumeric plus a hyphen.

Is there a way to "escape" host name strings, in bb-hosts, to allow, say, spaces, in host names/descriptions?
