If it's any consolation, I (some random guy on the internet) would look for naming conventions in the manual if I was given the error "invalid name".

As would I. The point is that user-friendly software shouldn’t make the user look through the manual to find their unusual name restrictions, as it should be trivial to tell the user what the violation is in the displayed error.
