Not really. What matters most in the domain or page names is that it is relevant to the sites niche or product.
For example if your selling pet products you would want page or domain names that are relevant to what your selling.
You would want a name like pet-products.com or something similar.

as long as your domain has keywords, a hypen does not matter in SEO. However, domain with a hypen is considered a bad domain. Whey people don't recommend a domain with a hypen is because it is really hard to remember whether there is a hypen between two words. for example, your domain might be lovetriangle dot com. If you use a hypen, how will people remember the hypen.
