Yes a look up list name can be user defined.
In a project a user defined field can be created. The field will be associated to a database field where the data will be recorded. For defects, that database field name will be BG_USER_##. The exact ## value is determined by QC as the user defined fields are created. The first UDF is 01, the next UDF is 02, and so on.
When you create a UDF you can also specify the label that will display in the UI, such as "Root Cause".
When defined a UDF you specify what type of field it will be. One field type is Lookup List.
When you select that type, you have to associate the field to a defined lookup list. You can associate it to a list that was predefined by QC (like Severity), or you can create a brand new list giving that list whatever name you want (as long as it doesn't violate QC naming rules.)
The OTA API documentation includes sample code in the Examples section. Take a look at the example named "Get the project lists associated with fields", under the heading "Customization Code Samples". That will show you how to get the list name associated to a field.
