Thanks. but,

 From RFC 952
    A "name" (Net, Host, Gateway, or Domain name) is a text string up
    to 24 characters drawn from the alphabet (A-Z), digits (0-9), minus
    sign (-), and period (.).  Note that periods are only allowed when
    they serve to delimit components of "domain style names".

    No blank or space characters are permitted as part of a
    name. No distinction is made between upper and lower case.  The first
    character must be an alpha character [Relaxed in RFC 1123] .  The last
    character must not be a minus sign or period.
