No, no, no! You cannot do that, unless you have an exhaustive list of "valid mononyms" -- and you're still deluding yourself into the assumption that you can code something that can recognize a string as a valid name. You cannot do that. I cannot do that. Nobody can do that. We must stop trying to do that. It's a delusion with bad consequences.

Nobody can code a valid name recognition algorithm; we should not try that. It's better to have the occasional mistake in our git history than to go down this path.
