  • Quotes are optional if the only characters used are letters A–Z, a–z, digits 0–9 and the symbols !$%&()*,-.:;<@[]^_`{|}~
  • Inclusion of any other characters including spaces requires that the name be enclosed in straight quotes (")
  • Quote-enclosed names may not include a less-than sign (<) or a quote symbol (")
It is recommended that names be kept simple and restricted to the standard English alphabet and numerals.
