Well, that depends on what we're talking about. In a script context, you could have an "ignore list", and by checking if "folder1" is in it, the script would that folder and move on.
(insert your favorite shell hack here) But strictly as a command, you have regexes available. By copying "ma*" recursively to, say, "/tmp", you'll copy folders like "man", "mate", or whatever else starts with "ma".
