It is a good idea to keep in mind that we have a well established
tagging scheme for something quite similar, that is place=archipelago
and place=island. This could serve you as a blueprint to select a
suitable tagging in your case.
Also keep in mind however that if you want to tag a name for a group of
lakes that needs to be verifiable - no matter what tagging you use.
Most names for larger groups of lakes refer to a non-verifiable
geometry in the sense that is is not verifiable which lakes belong to
the group. Examples:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mecklenburgische_Seenplatte
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lausitzer_Seenland
Such features do not belong in OpenStreetMap.
