Legal characters for names

What is a legal name for a cluster/instance/config/node/etc? Looks like it is:

@Pattern(regexp="[\\p{L}\\p{N}_][\\p{L}\\p{N}\\-_./;#]*")

which seems a bit liberal to me, but maybe that's what was allowed in v2.

My questions:

Other then the above annotation, is there an existing method that can
be used to verify a name is legal?

Do we want the ability to exclude some reserved words/names? Some of
the v2 documentation mentions you can use certain reserved words.

Currently the error you get for an illegal name is not very
friendly. Maybe this should be improved:

$ ./asadmin create-cluster @@@@
