No. But my name does.

Ok. Something about the way I read the first post, I thought you meant your simple name. No reason it couldn't have spaces. My wife knew of someone named 1/2. Insisted it be a single character, too. Was amusing how hard that was for most payroll systems.

And I wasn't saying this isn't allowed. What we are used to is not the total of what is allowed. The fringes are full of mistakes, though. At some point, you make a statistical choice.
