I found the multiple options confusing, so I decided to test all of them to see exactly what they do. I'm using VirtualBox 4.2.16-r86992 and Vagrant 1.3.3.

I created a directory called nametest and ran vagrant init precise64 http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box to generate a default Vagrantfile. Then I opened the VirtualBox GUI so I could see what names the boxes I create would show up as.

1) Default Vagrantfile

Vagrant.configure('2') do |config|
  config.vm.box = "precise64"
  config.vm.box_url = "http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box"
end
