We have always found using anything other than alphanumeric characters and maybe an occasional underscore for clarity is a bad idea. It will always come back to bite you at some point. Try not using spaces or punctuation in table or column names and your life will be easier. White space and punctuation are frequently used as delimiters in other programs, os's and applications, so when you use them in elements other than strings you often limit the portability (i.e. import and export) of your structures.
